What do you think of an option to ban politics from the feed on account registration like this:

Effectively, when you click "no politics", it should block the !news@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world, !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, !pravda_news@news.abolish.capital communities and such for the newly registered user.

It would help clear up the feed and be more attractive to new users. Maybe this could even be the default view when you're not logged in.

Critical support for a “no politics” filter that just gives you a 100% blank feed.

frankly, i disagree with the "everything is politics" proverb. if i talk about ATP synthase, i don't consider it politics.

Imagine thinking science isn’t politics. There’s literally an “Evolution” heading on that page and you think ATP synthase isn’t woke?

ATP synthase also happens during sleep.

eviscerated damn, now you’ve gone and really made this political

Everything is political, but not everything is about politics. Generally anything that mentions a government should come under such a filter.

If it’s political, sounds like politics to me
