   The right: Liberal democracy has become all the things Orwell warned us about in “1984”

   Also the right: We are working to abolish the orgasm

     @A_C_McGregor They’re going hard on “ending recreational sex”.

     @A_C_McGregor If they’re all as heterosexual as they claim, there’s a basic arithmetic problem with that.

     @goatsarah Of course they are. Why do I suspect they are only talking about Women here?

     We're into the part where the right treat dystopian fiction as a guidebook instead of a warning again, aren't we?

     @A_C_McGregor @goatsarah please can you CW "fascists are trying to make everything awful" posts because my anxiety is often happier if I can filter those out.

     Also I want a way to do "filter this whole thread" one of these days...

     @pseudomonas @A_C_McGregor You're replying to Alisdair, but in my thread, so I'm gonna assume "you" means me.

     The answer, in general, unfortunately is "no". Posts that I can reasonably expect are only going to DFRN or ActivityPub type places support abstract (which gets converted to content warnings for ActivityPub), but unless I specifically restrict distribution, posts go to other places which handle them very poorly.

     Do feel free to mute the thread.

     @pseudomonas @A_C_McGregor Problems of different platforms playing with each other. From my point of view, this is all one post.

     @goatsarah @A_C_McGregor you can mute *replies* from a thread as showing up as notifications. But that's not relevant in this case.

     @goatsarah @A_C_McGregor there's no way to mute a thread from one's home stream. You have to mute each post individually.

     @pseudomonas @A_C_McGregor No, but these comments are confined to a subset of the places the main post went to.

     @goatsarah @A_C_McGregor hang on, this comment you made has the CW intact from its parent comment. Did you make that using different software?
