I think we just need new content ratings. We don’t show children 18+ content because they are emotionally and mentally unable to process it. A lot of the left seem unable to do the same for a lot of content.

I personally cannot emotionally handle seeing all this cancel culture stuff constantly so I block as much as I can on Twitter, YouTube, web, etc. And life is better this way.

I would prefer a single toggle to block all identity politics though cross platform.

This is just “trigger warning” by another name.
And we all would feel healthier with a block-list for identity politics so that our lymbic system can once in a while take a break and not be triggered by the latest outrage.
I just stay away from platforms that are full of outrage porn. Another plus is that I have more time for other useful or enjoyable stuff.
