    That’s a good feature, politics on social media is just a cesspool these days. There’s nothing worth seeing because there’s no political discussion, just name calling, climate change denialism, racism and transphobia.

    Meta’s well aware that everyone’s tired of that uncle that just won’t shut up.

        I think you’re right that they need to be transparent with what is considered political and what is not through a visible flag or something.

        Though it’s definitely great idea to reduce weights on political content and discourage it. That’s the only way to get off this swamp and if we have to sacrifice gay pride parade talks to prevent the rise of fascism and genocide then it’s a pretty good deal imo.

      I disagree. It is not a good feature. Everything is political. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.

      Agreed.

      Threads is actually kinda fun if not all of the spam and straight up harmless idiots. Meta is right for once.

      There are plenty of other tools for politics and it’s better kept in smaller more mindful communities rather than these pools of random algorithmic shit.
