> it’s so diverse and humane

Opened the page, first entry: „white supremacist dogwhistle“

One can’t make this much diversity and humaneness up.

Yes, their frontpage overall seems normal and you probably meant well, but that this is their first entry is just hilarious.

If anti-racism is hilarious to you, then yes please do us both a favor and stay away from bubbles.
Hmmm... very disappointing that when I unchecked "politics" in Filter, that post remained in the list.
The post (after reading it) is not political in the today sense. It’s connecting an in vogue concept to toxic thought patterns and notes a correlation in both the patterns and trending association of some influencers to a specific political segment.

The point the author is trying to cover is that a lifestyle and aesthetic the author naturally aligns with actually actively excludes her - and that pattern is seen elsewhere and (author opinion) has wider implications.

I’d argue it’s a fair and not a political statement (there is some text that indicates the preference of the author) but a human realizing and sharing their exclusion from a group and that the exclusion expands into (again, author perspective) defined categories of people. Talking about thoughts and opinions is… what I expect from a blog.
