I joined Lemmy a few days ago and have been reading around. 90%+ of the content I see, even on non-politics related communities, is political in some way. I have no interest in that, so it’s tiring, especially when it’s inserted in the comments of completely unrelated posts.
Lemmy is mostly populated by intelligent people (include yourself if applicable) that fled reddit when the app crackdown began.
As such we talk and some of that talk covers the current situation in the world of politics.
If you don’t want to see any there are plenty of subs you can use.
You can also do what I do which is block the orange turnips name so you don’t see the posts.
Percieved intelligence is subjective. See this paper where 65% of Americans think they are smarter than average. The math doesn’t add up.
Yeah, but like, I’m smart enough to know I’m not in that 65%, because I’m smarter than average.
Hey I will not accept such slander!! I’m an idiot!
Oh nevermind, carry on. :P
You outed yourself by demonstrating reading comprehension, sorry
I don’t understand what you said and that makes me angry!
Can I block a term? How?
Some apps (e.g. Voyager/Thunder) and web frontends (Tesseract? not sure which tbh) enable keyword filtering.
In the case of the apps, it’s found in settings under filters & blocks or filters, respectively. Unfortunately I can’t recall which web frontends enable it for sure, but I do remember there seemed to be fewer of them that did last I checked.
Content Filters. There’s are lot of communities dedicated to lemmy how to’s and it’s kinda dependent on the app you use where to click specifically.
