In this moment I am TRYING to see past the cacophony of cruelty and focus on the things that might make it impossible to undo harm and restore sanity to government: this is very much one of those things. Make some noise about it. #democracy #Vote #rights https://brennancenter.substack.com/p/restricting-the-freedom-to-vote

@dajb sincere counterpoint: I feel the same as you but inverted. My feed is curated to expose the reality outside my comfort zone. I follow people who challenge me. I’d prefer it if people who typically post intellectually stimulating or socially critical content would CW their lifestyle and career updates or cat pics. I get my timeline cleanse from closing social apps to talk with friends and family, collaborate with colleagues, touch grass, or get into a good story.

@dajb gotcha. I know that I have nothing particularly clever or fresh to say about how to facilitate an online community. You were doing it long enough to have heard it all. I think you were the first person to invite me to Mastodon more than a decade ago. I am not trying to convince you of anything. I was just sharing a reflection on your comment because an appeal meant to inform your network before unexpectedly unfollowing people who you respect is not how I read your post.
