If I was getting actual death threats from people on social media because of something I posted on social media, the first thing I would do is stop posting on social media for a while, and I’d especially avoid interacting with people about the subject that was getting me the death threats!

@MarkXA if he apologises, would that be a sawshark redemption?

@dmoren @ivory I saw the post within 7 minutes and was still too late!

Absolute nonsense. You can discuss many aspects of life in this region without having to stray into politics. If someone does stray into politics (intentionally, or not), you can choose to sidestep. Most people do not choose to sidestep because they'd rather bring politics into it.

Maintaining a space that is devoid of politics is not only achievable, it is admirable. But it is not something that can be achieved without discipline or control

@derryantipov@mastodon.ie @harriettmb @norniron @OpinionatedGeek @cmbbell you’re pissing in the wind if you think you can set up a generic group and actually control what it is used for.

@iain I’m sure I would recognise it if I heard it, but from the title alone I have no notion what it sounds like.

@dup_online@mastodon.ie @LeifB73 breaking news. I have selected the distinguishing symbol:

@LeifB73 @dup_online@mastodon.ie I can understand this. I’m from Lurgan and if it wasn’t for _the implications_, I’d prefer people from Lurgan to wear a distinguishing symbol at all times.

@LeifB73 it’s the followup that does the damage: “but what part of X are you from?”
