     @patrickcmiller It was only “not for politics” during a short time when—completely coincidentally—their preferred politicians were not in power. Once that changed, and their politicians are in power and want greater reach, #politics is OK. Also, people don’t make those choices, #meta does. They opted everyone out, letting them opt in. Now they opt everyone in but can people opt out? It’s simple, naked power play. It is hard to view this at all the way they say. It just isn’t believable that they care about some concept like “quality of conversation.” That’s just bullshit.
