Just got another flurry of shouty mentions, replying to a post from several weeks ago, complaining about my lack of content warnings on “political” topics.

Sorry, no. This may be a norm on some instances and in some communities, but it isn’t in mine. And politics, law, and policy comprises a significant fraction of my work and interests.

There are more powerful and effective tools for controlling what you read here than scolding strangers for failing to follow imaginary rules.
