> no news/politics

I kinda like the IDEA there, but no idea how you separate things like “I’m concerned about my individual rights” from politics?

And usually when people say “no politics” they mean “no politics I don’t like “.

Still in sympathize with the idea, I want to hear from people about what they’re doing and so forth, not a rehash of the news.

It's worse than that. You end up with lesbians posting about their girlfriends or small business owners posting a meme about a regulation they have to comply with and then getting blocked for politics if their tribe is the outgroup.

What you really need is for people to not be so intolerant of the other tribe being the other tribe.

But what do you do when intolerance is the thing you're being asked to be tolerant of?

Tolerance indeed means tolerating the intolerant as well, otherwise it's just another name for intolerance. It's clear we completely forgot that in our polarised world.

That should be the norm everywhere but one tribe's entire identity is being intolprant of people and things that ultimately have zero effect on them or anyone.
