lemmy can now filter out entire political comms.
and most apps can filter out keywords. do at least "trump" and "musk" and you are good.
as a not-usian i keep it for the entertainment value of the crumbling empire though.
Any way to do this just from web browser?
you can filter out comms from your lemmy settings > blocks or something.
keyword filtering is not yet a thing on browser lemmy.
Yup, during WW2 you'd have seen a lot of references to Hitler.
I browse by "Subscribed" and subscribe to communities that aren't politically focused. Here's a list:

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR
Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.

It's amazing how much still gets through, but at least I'm not scrolling past a dozen "news" stories between every meme or comic post.
I am leaning harder and harder on 'political comedy isn't comedy' as a rule. 'It's just a joke,' is a far too common smokescreen for people pushing terrible ideas and mocking people spreading bad ideas doesn't do anything to stop them. It can even help. Politics isn't supposed to be entertaining. It's the decisions that affect how we live our lives. We need comedy in politics like we need strippers in surgery.
what I've leant into hard is the idea that those "clever comebacks" or "murdered by words" posts and communities do much more harm than good. 80% of the post is the most bigoted and hateful thing you've ever read, and 20% is "your mom lol". sharing hate speech with a lame joke tacked on the bottom is still sharing hate speech, turns out
Counterpoint, comedy is often a coping mechanism for people dealing with difficult things, be it politics or something else. I'll agree that it's not how everyone wants to deal with it, though, and I also agree that not everyone does it in a way that's constructive (but I think that's in execution, not everyone is funny and a bad joke without proper comedy is certainly just elevating a bad message)
But I think if I didn't have political comedy, I'm not sure how I could deal with how absolute shit things have been for decades. For me that's not memes though, it's stuff like Last Week Tonight or something that actually is done with professional writers and researchers.
Not what I'm seeing, maybe I curated my feed differently? Idk maybe my server also blocks some?
"Is he team Red or team Green?"
*Little did they know that beneath his outer attire lay his blue wizard robes.*
"I mean he's wearing boots, which is more than either of us have."
I don't block much stuff, but I only subscribe to things that don't generally feature US politics. So I essentially have two feeds: All and Subscribed. Scrolling All can be exhausting...
That seems like the ideal approach. I sometimes WANT a survey of what Lemmy is talking about and sometimes I don't. I've got massive tolerance for bullshit given my difficult upbringing but even I'm hitting limits and needing a break. It's madness.
Same. I like to use All because I generally will get to see things, happenings, events, etc. that I wouldn't be otherwise seeking out. But it is damn exhausting that it's 90% what fucked up thing is happening in the government currently.
I always scroll all but I was on lemmy when there were only like 20 posts per day
You gotta block the bots that post news stories to communities named after the publication.
Really clears up the feed.
Also try to get the more spammy ones blocked by your server, it's a service for all other users as well
