Reminder to please CW anything to do with politics and particularly “look at the awful things these right-wingers are doing”. Being able to choose when and how to engage is important and makes a big difference to the overall mood of the timeline.

And please don’t boost politics posts with no CWs either - I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently from new arrivals

Remember doomscrolling? Remember the constant low-level anxiety of “can’t do anything about this but I can’t look away either”? You have the option not to do that here on fedi, and the option not to inflict it on others

@ghost_bird Don't think it is doom scrolling , you don't have to follow. But right now the reality that Britain is facing with a far right Govt in power is rubbish. So people want to talk about it and fight back. Alot of us have migrated from Twitter and some of us are still there. But what we have to say is relevant. People are fed up.

@dem_cath And you can choose to be courteous and put your conversations under a content warning, if you like. It’s precisely because I live in Britain under a fashy government that I want to be able to choose when to engage and when to get some respite

@ghost_bird @dem_cath I empathise and see many don't want to have to doom scroll, I get it, but it could be seen as a bit fashy to tell others what to do on political posts though, especially if they are coming from a very political platform looking for community of like minded "not fascist" viewpoints but have other interests also?
