Because people are addicted to spreading their political opinions like evangelists of old.
And they never think you mean them when you ask them to stop, becuse then other team is evil, and inserting their political opinions in to everything is their personality now. It's tut only way they can get them likes.
Social media changed society and sadly, I don't think escaping to the Fediverse can out run the political borest.
If human beings were the only intelligent life in the universe, then the difference between being wiped out by the sun versus the heat death of the universe is so mind boggling big, that it beggars belief.
So many - near infinite - civilisations could come and go.
I've used this argument before arguing with hippies about "integrating with nature".
Any society that isn't on track to developing the science and engineering necessary for interstellar tavel is a dead end.
It's a tragic waste of human intelligence to keep making the same bamboo huts indefinetly.
So some noble savage can live their lives on repeat for hundreds or millenia, and that's somehow better than inventing an arc that can save every form of life on this unique Planet?
Social media is never going to be good as long as there are people who keep pushing politics into any topic group.
These people Will. Not. Fucking. Stop.
I want it to be as frowned upon as coming to a dinner party and lecturing people about the Bible.
I want the people who insist on bringing politics into Star Trek meme pages or Linux discussions to be regarded with the same disdain as we'd have from opening the door and seeing a group of Jehova's Witnesses.
They are turds floating in thel swimming pool.
These endlessly tedious modern puritan evangelicals with their simplistic good versus evil opinions.
I joined Instagram to see my friend's accounts. But it's more like being at some fairground where I am surrounded by lights and sound but sometimes see my friends briefly whizz by on some rollercoaster or Waltzer.
Because the left is too busy playing identity politics rather than focusing on unions.
It's just continual bigotry that creates more problems than it ever solves.
Identity politics always leads to ruin.
