There’s already a smuglord here saying that there’s no politics in programming.dev… just their own smug status quo warrior politics they vomited toward Hexbear each and every time I saw them around when federated.
People in the instance have more varying viewpoints since its oriented towards a niche/content category (+ same is true for other niche instances). People interacting in the instance can be managed but its difficult for people interacting outside to be moderated to make sure theyre actually following our rules since admins dont get reports of people in their instance being reported, only the instances of where they interact in do.
Politics communities (aka communities that only talk about politics rather than something like a hobby (and lgbtq+ isnt politics)) are now hidden by default on the instance though hence why you probably havent noticed the two are federated still since people dont stumble in and need to explicitly choose to see the content (leading to less people arguing on different politics communities since they just sub to the one they want and then sees that one as normal)
Do you read the comments too, or just scroll through the feed?
I do. And it doesn’t phase me, just scroll on past, like that homeless man you ignore in the street.
Nonpolitically.
No politics here, oh shit now there’s pronouns and I ruined it

you could hold up a mirror and they still wouldn’t recognize themselves in it.
I’ve seen a sudden influx of memes all about this and I don’t know why. It’s suddenly the new trend and I don’t understand it.
