@feditips@mstdn.social As one of the newbies leaving Twitt... sorry - the 'Bird Site' - I recognise that there is an anti-conflict culture here on Mastodon. And - as a linguist who has lived and worked in many other European countries - I *totally* understand how inappropriate it is to criticize the culture of your host. But - for many of us - our timelines consist of nothing BUT 'Political Content'! Which - if Content Warnings are strictly applied - means only about two tweets are displayed per page. 🤔

@feditips@mstdn.social @philwaring@mastodon.lol - hopefully the rules will evolve as the population scales. The Fediverse seems well designed to support the broad consensus against abusive content, and to support communities that want quiet spaces that keep out unwelcome topics as well as other communities that encourage moderated, fact-based discussion of politics that directly impacts their rights, livelihoods, and even lives - without UI friction.

@feditips@mstdn.social Surely all it would need would be an 'Allow Political Content' option in the settings...? So that those of us whose main interest is politics *don't* have to scroll through adverts.

@philwaring@mastodon.lol @feditips@mstdn.social There is a setting to automatically un-hide posts behind content warnings.
