Back around 2015, my brother complained about stuff I was posting on Facebook and would i please stop it. I told him "my page, my posts." He was free to unfollow or block, whatever he chose.
@mattblaze fuck you is a perfectly fine content warning if you change your mind
The Block button is your friend :)
Sadly, they didn't get to see that, because I blocked them before I posted it.
Seriously, if you're allergic to posts about election technology, you really, really, shouldn't follow me. Or at least keep an epi pen on hot standby.
@mattblaze the thing that is incredible to me about all of this, is on mastodon there's no "algorithm", it's all opt-in directly by your choices. So people are complaining to other people about their own choices, as if they're entitled to direct others.
In any event, let me tap the sign, which is clearly posted as a pinned post:
@mattblaze
Mastodon should have a way to put a universal content warning on an account. I.e. do not follow this account if you might be upset by something I might post.
"We're not asking you not to post about US politics. We're just asking you to use a content warning. We're being very reasonable, and your refusal to do so now that we've asked is unreasonable and hostile"
Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Fuck you.
During fascism and potential election tampering, people’s biggest problems being your posts is wild to me.
