  I also use sync. And i also use the option to block certain words in titles. If you use this list, your feed gets a lot less toxic. Don’t judge me from this list, it works for me. Image

    Haha, “America” 😂

    Thanks for the advice! I think I’ll follow suit.

    I absolutely will judge you for that list. You don’t want to hear about capitalism and climate change? Like the two biggest things that are going to affect our future. Lots of people are unaware of the water they swim in to some extent, but to intentionally avoid it like this is another level of intentional ignorance.

    There’s some real vibes here of someone who’s so privileged that current politics already serves them and they feel like they can just ignore it. Self-described “apolitical” people are still political, it’s just that their politics are usually awful because they don’t think about them.

    If I ever thought of using a filter like this - and I really don’t think I ever will - the fact that you’re the kind of person to use it makes me even less likely to consider it. I never want to shove my head in the sand to that extent.

    Go ahead and block me for saying this, I wouldn’t want to make you feel slightly uncomfortable for the few seconds it takes to scroll past. It’s better if you just don’t know I exist. One less voice to antagonise you with reality.

      I come to lemmy because I have time to relax, not to get all hyped up like you. If I want to stay informed I read articles, not people’s opinion.

        I honestly didn’t expect you to reply. I’m quite willing to accept my impression was wrong here, if you tell me what your politics are. I’ll quite happily own up to the fact that I characterised you as an apolitical/centrist type, and that may have been wrong. Is that wrong?

    I think a lot of these things are further reaching problems than first world 😅

  In sync you can block entire instances, no need to block every single community…
