that was my first guess, but after i tried getting back on the path they only kept putting grass on my feet. i tried holding still, backing away, moving toward them, moving back into the grass, making noises, and checked in the bush — it just kept putting grass on me. i didn't immediately see anything. i was afraid of scaring or upsetting them, so i left.

someone else suggested they're a juvenile that doesn't know how to feed themself.

but what about these posts that are like:

ah right, yeah. i updated my original snippet with the styling for hiding posts also.

It is good though that we don’t have republicans groups here, so half the problem is solved on Lemmy by default.

there are neocon and alt-right instances, but they don't normally federate, or they're quarantined very quickly (usually for posting CSAM… hmmm…).

some apps let you filter posts and comments.

if you're in the browser: blocking an instance from your account settings will block posts. this also has the benefit that you don't get notified when someone from a blocked instance replies to you.

to hide comments in the browser, i use a userstyle:

.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]),
.comment-node:has(* > .person-listing[href$="@lemmy.world"]) + .comments
{
  display: none;
}

this hides the comment and all of its replies.

  1. threads that absolutely don't interest me. this way, my feed becomes a list of new posts, or posts i'm (noncommittally) following for comments.
  2. threads that make me upset. extension of above: not having to see or be reminded of things i'm actively dis-interested in. this is more for when i'm surfing All for new communities.

 

the main three solutions i have to #2 are: RSS; userscript; or blocking the OP. i already use RSS a lot, but RSS clients can be arcane to customise the way i want, and i don't like following aggregators from my aggregator. i'm satisfied with the official web UI.

mine came with a battery defect and no longer turns on. i used it a total of four times.

postcovid prevents me from going to the library to print the RMA and then to the post office to actually ship the fucking thing, and i have no one to help me get rid of it. so now it's a paperweight.

she's alluding to the fact that these characters — the 'soyjack' and 'gigachad' — are historically, and still actively are, alt-right charicatures. together with their friends, 'tradwife' and 'doomer (girl)': they represent misogynistic, racist, antisemitic, and white supremacist tropes.

you mean the migration 'crisis' and collapse in '"living" standards' which were brought on by US-EU neoliberalism driving down the standard of living in other parts of the world before coming home to roost?

there are certainly ways of reversing direction, but people in the core would sooner choose literal fascism before giving up their imperial lifestyle. they use the IMF to politically terraform 'underdeveloped nations' and export their own harms so they can say they're 'meeting climate goals', and then complain about all the emissions and migrants coming from those countries which are ravaged to supply their hyperconsumption. the same migrants which predominantly staff their service, medical and technology sectors to prop up their precious treats and their oh-so superior 'knowledge economies'.

voting for fascism is the individualistic choice which lets them keep their treats and means they don't need to interact with their neighbours or advocate for real change. it's easier to blame the victims of their actions than to cut the DARVO shit and accept responsibility.

at which point your profit becomes linked to the degree to which you provide the functionality

except when the commodity is a basic necessity and there's no alternatives. 'the market' can't really 'vote with their wallet' on the cost and quality of shelter, particularly when price fixing is rampant.

sidenote: 'voting with your wallet' implies people with more money than you should have more say in what's 'more valuable', because the rich can always outbid you, and homo economicus is only a thought experiment. (see: foreign real estate investment, conspicuous consumption…)
