And, right on cue, someone complains about my "political" posts not having a content warning.
Let me explain: fuck you.

Sadly, they didn't get to see that, because I blocked them before I posted it.
That's always the emotional dilemma of blocking, isnt it. When i tell someone I'm blocking them, which is rare, i almost never actually do, because i dont want to miss anything. But i never respond ever again.
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 Maybe US politics has become so obscene that it warrants for the same precautions as adult content would ... 🤔
@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.
@mattblaze The quickest way to turn myself into the victim is to make myself entitled to something unreasonable, and then be wounded when it's not given to me. It's narcissistic behavior.
Also, the folks complaining seem to post a lot of stuff about politics with no CWs. Rules for thee but not for me.
Love your posts and the photography
I’m not sure I understand the mindset of someone who signs up for a social media account and then gets surprised and upset when they find people discussing *current events*.
@mattblaze basically: oh the huge …
@mattblaze I apologize for our earlier entanglement because I follow you for the expert analysis of a system I don't know.
Too many post that the sky is falling, but you and other clear eyed observers post on *how* it is and is not so far falling specifically.
And I thank you for that, and the photos.
@mattblaze Amd on mastodon it's pretty easy to mute and block stuff you don't want to see.
The need for some to have a content warning on fucking near everything is the reason a fucking Nature documentary on YouTube has to bleep out the first fucking word relating to a group of crows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I. Kid. You. NOT!
Very, VERY soon, nobody will be able to say a fucking thing for fear of one or more words in any sentence, correctly used in the context they were intended, upsetting some softcock with a zero grasp of their own unimportance!
I'm done, I tell you, done. No more self-censoring where it isn't necessary.
And as was so eloquently stated in your post ...
If that wasn't clear enough, Fuck you!🖕 😎
@mattblaze Very well. We shall resume in an hour.
@mattblaze I think I get now. On the other hand, one more fuck you might be necessary.
During fascism and potential election tampering, people’s biggest problems being your posts is wild to me.
@LALegault Apparently my words are very, very powerful. Like the hands of a martial artist. Deadly weapons.
