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

what kills me is you can already block comms and instances. there should be an option when you sign up to block .world tho cause they're annoying

I can kind of sympathize with this person. In a lib environment, all the Trump and Musk posting is like an impotent hate cult about the dang cheeto, etc. etc. There's no idea about how to make a better world, just endless later night talkshow hosts making epic denunciations over and over without ever saying something new. It's emotional masochism to just stew in that.

I think it would be good to try to meet someone like this where they are and show them that you can engage with politics in a healthier way if you aren't a miserable lib who acts like a hundred trillion clapbacks are the way to defeat fascism.

Doing it on hexbear would only show like chat, badposting, trans stuff, and the furry comm lol

please don't make me question all the chauvinist fairy tales I built my worldview around! if I'm not part of an innately superior west then I'm just a loser!!!1!

No politics! Just wholesome nuclear family propaganda, tech with no evil use cases, normative liberal reactionary memes, and landscape photos of stolen land!

Maybe this could even be the default view when you're not logged in.

maybe every time you visit the site it could reach out and hug you and stroke your hair and tell you you're special and good and right about everything and no one in the world disagrees with you or dislikes your opinions or

They are as big babies as star wars chuds who complain about politics

Double fun the image is for piefed not lemmy 🙃

what i don't get is how this would be beneficial.. politics is like half of the things we discuss here in both lib and left spaces? Also being the default view is going to suck if you want to browse Lemmy without an account. You can always block politics with Lemmy's community and instance account blocking feature, which should be taught anyway so you can pick and choose what exactly should go.

I was going to comment it in the original post, but I didn't think about it much until now..

Lock the account to c/badposting only until they change it. Seems like the most ROI on humor for the effort. Or a singular invisible thread that has some mandatory reading and subsequent quiz if you press the button.

If they don't want to hear about politics, why aren't they back on reddit?

We should implement this, and if you select it you only get the latest cocomelon videos in your feed.

"i don't want to hear about politics even though it will affect 100% of my life somehow" lmao

Idk about the rest of you, but I wouldn't hate it if I could set up an alt that only saw memes, pics of animals, landscape photos, recipes, hobbies (crafts etc), exclusively "feel good content". Why wouldn't someone want that?
