A reminder as US, AU and other politics hot up....

Dear friends, if you are posting about US, UK, FR or AU politics, I would love you to use a eg , or so that I can filter them out. Would you mind?

Otherwise, I might have to mute or block peoples. Would hate to do that.

Just a reminder as the recent events are attracting a lot of comment. Otherwise you've been doing fabulously with your hashtags.

@LifeTimeCooking Thank you for this pleasantly worded reminder.

@LifeTimeCooking

Will try.

What I'd like is a higher character limit and pre-filled hashtags such as
Twitter
Elon
Dorsey
Zuckerman
Putin
Ukraine
Xi
Trump
USPol
Fascists
UKPol
AusPol
Covid
Sport
ProSport
ComputerTech
Food
Unhealthy Beverage
Recreational Drug Use
NonVegan Foodstuf

And I get to untick the irrevelvant.

@LifeTimeCooking
Yes US politics news is one of things that makes me sort of laugh and cry at the same time. Is there a word for that?
Just went and checked. Apparently it is called the pseudobulbar effect. So US politics is pseudobulbaric?

Hello from another instance. I wish I had followed your lead in setting up a Plan B account with followers and following, but I didn't. This morning I found I was totally blocked from mstdn.ca, for no reason I can understand.

So I've set up camp here, and I am still pulling together my profile, etc.

So weird. I don't recall most usernames I was following, so I'm groping around — AND I'm just leaving on a trip.

:sigh:

@Leisureguy your loss my benefit. Looking forward to some wfpb content

@Nina2627 Thank you very much. If you want to browse some things I've recently made:

And just before I left on this trip, I put the fermented carrot sticks in the fridge — they were a day short of the 3 weeks I planned, but still tasted good.

@pitd @LifeTimeCooking I just saw this again. I try… & presumably you’ll have stuff pop up if I’ve commented on someone else’s untagged post?

@LifeTimeCooking @timrichards also clears up confusion about what you’re talking about for people who are interested in other country’s politics. There’s parties with similar names in many countries

@joannaholman @LifeTimeCooking True. Also a good reason for people to add their country to their profile.

@LifeTimeCooking

With all due respect, you're not going to be able to control your own feed by controlling how everyone else behaves. Best to figure things out on your end. I mean this with all kindness and respect, and wish you luck in screening out the information you do not desire.

@LifeTimeCooking I worry about this.Some things that have been central in my life are permaculture, feminism, science, history, art.Mollison called permaculture "revolution disguised as gardening".The feminist saying "the personal is political" is part of my life story.My thesis is about storytelling climate science as a novel.I find Anzac stories profound. Beyond party politics, what to call politics & what to call ethics, stories, science, how to be a good human, is not always obvious to me.
