Poster is straight up defending Trump now. Mask off, I guess. No more pretending to post Jill Stein because he “found it interesting.”
- Yeah, it's a bit disappointing and super lame. Used to be just a shit ton of random news, then a bit right leaning, now fully pro-Trump posts only.
  Oh well, Boost to the rescue again with user tags. "Trump Schill"? "Would happily gag on Trump's mushroom"? I wonder what the character limit is
  
  Do you think it's better to block someone or add a note to them so you can still engage with their content? I've gotten into the habit of blocking people and I'm not sold on it being the best approach.
  
  I block outright racists and obvious low effort idiots, but for the most part I tag people so I can see how often they post, or if it's consistently in one direction or pushing an agenda. Right wing keyboard warriors of various stripes are the most common, but it's handy to tag people on the far left, or really anyone too rigidly one-dimension.
  Kinda like checking your sources for news and quotes I guess? If I know someone's trying to manipulate me, I can form a more complete opinion and understanding.
  
  Good points.
  
  Depends on how much they annoy you. Do you want to keep seeing their posts and comments?
  
  Let me know which one you decide, thanks!
- I'm not defending anything. I saw an interesting article and posted it. If you feel the article is incorrect, please write to the news org that produced it. Thank you! :)
