@cwebber Would you mind CWing USPol news like this? Some users are specifically here to get a break from this sort of content.

@vector I usually do, sometimes I don't.

However I think that it shouldn't always be necessary; there's a certain criticism of the fediverse that it's dramatically less politically active than other social networks and that this is a dangerous thing, which maybe that's true.

In general, I CW political things and many human rights abuse things; I don't think having them cross your timeline now and then is so bad though.

*facepaw*

This is why I block people who don't CW things.

@squeakycheetah @cwebber Personally, I don’t mind seeing news and politics posts without a CW, but I didn’t boost the original post cause I have people who follow me who would prefer the CW.
