And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don’t understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

I think it’s messed up to create these little safe spaces because people want to shield themselves from what’s going on in the world. Nobody is forcing them to interact with posts they don’t want to see, but it’s a different thing altogether to ban and block posts so that these ostrich types don’t have to face reality in their doomscrolling drip-feed.
Some of us in the US are fully aware of the situation, keeping ourselves updated with the latest information, engaging in community efforts, etc. and don’t have the energy to keep looking at the problem during our little time away from the problem. Does that make us Ostrich-like?
But of course, that doesn’t mean our experiences should dictate the way the rules are interpreted in a community meant for a global (albeit mostly English-speaking) audience.
So just keep scrolling then, bud. Why trying to stop people from expressing themselves just because you personally don’t like it? Talk about symptomatic of American politics as a whole!
When did I ever say people should stop? I expressed that it wears me down. I still see it everywhere, and I think people should keep talking about it despite it sucking to see plastered everywhere. Hence the last part of my previous reply.
