It might get annoying, but I’ll keep saying it until it gets better: The current events show well how it’s impossible to avoid unpleasant topics on Twitter-like platforms short of logging out
@volpeon This is my first time experiencing this and it's definitely a "huh." moment that I can tell the outcome of the election by all the vauge posts about mental health
@9df90f63 It’s not even the specific outcome I’m talking about. The US elections have been a hot topic for a while and especially now, and you keep getting confronted with it everywhere, on traditional media and social media. I get that it’s an important topic for many people, but personally I don’t want to see it 24/7. However, there’s no escape unless I log out.
@9df90f63 For other people it’s about the results, and that’s in fact what prompted my post. What I said above still applies to them, their reasons are just a bit different. The point is that if you want to avoid certain topics, the platform doesn’t make it easy at all.
