I quite often have political thoughts in the shower, and also wish to express them; simply as being shower thoughts. However, rule number 3 prohibits this, or at least requiring me to dance around the subject; which feels somewhat limiting.
Despite this rule, there’s still a significant portion of politically charged posts, which may annoy others, not interested in political topics. I personally wouldn’t join the community, but rather visit it periodically; for an arguably healthier politics-life balance.
Therefore I’m not interested in starting a community myself; which is where some of you might be able to help out. I think this has the potential to greatly improve compliance to rule number 3, while still being able to express such thoughts, in a similar forgiving context.
Edit: it’s a reality at: Political Showerthoughts. So feel free to redirect any political posters to that subcommunity.
People are allowed to create boundaries for themselves. Just because they set a very fucking healthy boundary of no political posts on social media, doesn’t mean they can’t engage politically in other ways. Probably they’ll have more energy to actually take concrete action when they’re not just seething in front of a screen.
If you want to have political content, go make a sub and post there. Nobody is stopping you, and nobody is obliged to engage with content they don’t want to.
I wasn’t being sarcastic.
Fuck reality.
Apologies. I misread you.
I’m fond of reality though. But for me that word probably has a bit different meaning ^^;
