    So often, “politics” just means “stuff I don’t like.” People don’t think of “stuff I do like” as politics. And that’s not a right-wing phenomenon. It’s common across the political spectrum.

    (This isn’t me spouting “both sides” nonsense. The poster in that screenshot is a bigoted dumbass and a horrible human being. I’d have a lot more respect for someone quitting a Pokemon community that was rife with anti-LGBT bigotry even if the reason they gave was “it was too political”. It’s still frustrating to see the term “politics” (mis?)used in that way by people I otherwise respect, though.)

    Everything’s politics. “That’s too political” is a copout non-statement. Have the guts to say what you mean.

    Dead internet theory is a fantastic theory that holds that the majority of the social media content on the internet is created by bots. I personally like to think about an internet with only bots in it, communicating back and forth without human interaction. For example, creating a Tamagochi hive at home. This not only increases bot happiness, but also adds excitement! By the way, if you’re interested in non-standard hobbies, I also recommend paying attention to https://chatgpt.com/.
