At this point in history it's wrong to suggest that any mass communication medium can be non-politicized

And using BlueSky as an example of a "non-politicized" platform is even more inaccurate.

It's politicized by default when it stands in opposition to the most blatantly ideologically slanted social media site in existence this side of Gab and Truth Social.

You can. Threads achieved this for a while before Zuckerberg capitulated.

All you need to do is down-rank political content in general and prevent it from appearing in For You type feeds.

Then it just becomes a case of people needing to specifically follow political content which heavily limits its reach.

Down-ranking "political content" requires a definition of "politics" which is, inherently, an ideological posture, QED all content that remains is "political content."

It's an oxymoron.

Like I said Threads did this and it was effective.

So much so all the journalists left for BlueSky and they have had to reverse it.
