I like it here but I could do without all the politics. I don't find any of it interesting and do not want to discuss it. Can I hide it from my feed?

It's just that it is everywhere, not just here. Everyone thinks that their side is right and the other is wrong. I can't imagine that anything said here is going to change anyone's mind.

@vivianoblivion it is quite annoying

@vivianoblivion I agree.
Sad,really.

It is very simple to scroll past questions that do not interest you.

If only we could
The only thing we can do is mute the person

@SW-User I've muted a couple already for that reason. I still see other replies to it though. I was just wishing there was a way to not see it.

Yeah, maybe we need a separate site called "Similar Politics" lol 😆.
@SW-User Or "Dissimilar Politics"

LOL

@Threepio Yeah 😂

I personally enjoy discussing politics, but I see how a person might be bothered by it.

I really do hope that they add a feature like that soon, there are a couple of really disturbing groups of people that I would love to mute out of my feed completely.

do not read it

My solution is just mute every person that I see make a political post or statement. My list is growing but my news feed is much better.

@vivianoblivion even if its just once?

If I mute somebody that’s usually why. There’s enough of that in the real world.
vivianoblivion · 26-30, F
@Rambler Exactly how I feel about it.

Most of it is abusive and unintelligent. Like male deer in heat (bucks?) clashing their antlers.

I think it's mostly the same people who start those threads...

I also hate discussing politics with some of my friends while other friends I can actually do that with since they usually tend to know what they're talking about. I have other friends I tend to not discuss politics with because they have no clue what they're talking about and are very uneducated. It gets frustrating, to be honest.
When you figure that one out let me know

Im not here for serious.
SW-User
No, I try to ignore it.
Rokasu · 36-40, M
Gotta just ignore it.
popmol · 22-25, M
isn't there in options somewhere you hide certain topics, so anyone who posts in politics you can't see?
vivianoblivion · 26-30, F
@popmol Yes there is a "Politics" tab and I muted that but they still get through because they aren't labeled as politics or they come as replies to comments.
popmol · 22-25, M
@vivianoblivion true! but if its people who keep doign that only you can mute them or block them :)
Anymore I just ignore them....

50% of the people will disagree with you no matter what you say concerning politics or religion...

We’ve asked about muting topics and groups. I love politics but get bored with folks asking inane questions about their bodies, periods and boyfriends...🤦🏽‍♀️
I don’t think there is yet, but several of us have asked about being able to block or mute groups and topics.

@SW-User I eventually figured out the mute button.
