As @macgenie blogged about last year, we usually leave political posts out of the Discover timeline if they could be divisive. Many people come to Micro.blog to get a break from the arguments elsewhere. Today is unique, though, with the election on so many people’s minds, so you’ll see ... www.manton.org

@nielsk Yes, it's curated by hand. (Other parts of Discover like the emoji sections are automatic.)

@manton wow. That sounds like a lot of work.

@nielsk It is. 🙂 But we think it's an important part of how Micro.blog works. Eventually we'll have a larger team to help with it and better tools to use.

@manton @nielsk I love the Discovery feed. Virtually everyone I followed when I started came from the Discovery feed. Every now and then I’ll add another person to my feed through Discovery.

@RossA Glad to hear it, thanks!

@phrequencyviii Ha, I hope so! I think most people are respectful of different opinions even when we're frustrated or disappointed.

@bix Definitely.
