I try to cut-tag politics, but not because people might disagree with my political opinions. I am increasingly firm about my political opinions, and since the staunchest "disagree" group is actual-literal-Nazis, I'm not concerned about offending their sensibilities. However, politics is a relentless hellscape right now, and I sometimes take a break from new political news and commentary, and I assume other people do, so... I try to put most of those comments under a cut tag, where they can read or not at their leisure.
Same goes for other things. Anything longer than a single screen, I try to cut because it's "this stuff needs actual thinky-time" rather than "scrolling past and catch the gist is fine."
most people are more comfortable with FB's (badly) curated feed than with seeing everything.
Most people are not on Dreamwidth for exactly this reason. I spend more time engaging with the content that's most meaningful to me, but I'm very glad the rest of it is here, whether that's just for context or sometimes because it sets off thoughts that don't immediately connect to anything but will matter later.
Short version: Thank you for posting stuff. Please keep posting stuff. Try not to listen to the brainweasels; they are not the people who have subscribed to your journal because they want to see the content.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
