Define 'weird political shit'. Because Mastodon is also full of weird political shit. The election years are unbearable.

Yeah why would you go on a microblogging platform if you didn't want to see "weird political shit"?

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Because not everyone is obsessed with politics and there is actually a lot of cool non-political content to enjoy. Although during some periods it's better to stay away from the main feed.

You have been friending the wrong people.
