This would also be a good time to remind people that a lot of the people who want to avoid #politics are politically active already, and are here to take a break. I've been directly involved in politics, on and off, for over a decade now. I even do phone banking, write letters, and I used to canvas and #protest before I became disabled.

I think there's this perception that the people who avoid politics are the people who need to be reached, and people who don't know how to turn off the politics jam things into the apolitical timeline to try and "reach" us... But most of us don't really need to be reached.

This platform is literally built by people who know enough to know why having a platform that isn't controlled by a single person or company is important.

If you want to talk about politics, put in hashtags we can block and CW the crazy stuff.
