@blaine on the other hand, do the WORLD a favour and do NOT post US political garbage here.

Thank you. From everyone who doesn't care about your (idiotic, to us) choices of legislators.

@TechTaxCanuck @blaine “Here” for YOU is YOUR timeline. It’s up to you to mute or unfollow those people. On MY timeline, Posts about U.S. politics are most welcome.

Well, I guess, good for your personal pollution level then.
Pretty much everyone else in the world is fed up with the firehose of spewing political garbage. So the demise (hopefully) of that bird platform is not a sad thing for many. YMMV.

@TechTaxCanuck @janeayers I would happily post similar advice for communities in other jurisdictions, particularly since I'm a Canadian in Canada and before moving back I lived in the UK and Europe for over a decade.

Sorry for posting content you weren't interested in; my feed here is mostly related to furthering the federated social web, so I encourage you to mute me in case that's not of interest to you.

@blaine @TechTaxCanuck I *was* interested, and so posted my response. It sounds like you need to mute or unfollow some of the millions who think US politics *is* worth discussing.
