    Just gonna leave this here:

    In the Lemmy app Voyager, there’s a section under Settings -> General called “Filters and Blocks” where you can put in keywords to block.

    I’ve added “Trump” “Vance” and “Elon” and everything was immediately slightly better.

      So the headline

      After the death of President Trump, new glorious President Vance follows Elon Musk’s recommendation to move all non-patriots to educational camps

      Is gonna be a real surprise to you?

      Look, I get you gotta do what you gotta do for your mental health, but sticking your head in the sand isn’t going to make anything go away. You’re just gonna be surprised when the shit hits the fan.

      Besides, this is the reality of American politics now. You can just not go to a discussion board for American politics.

        You can’t “just do” that. It will show up in an all feed because it is nigh impossible to ignore that dumpster fire of a country.

        I too already blocked the words trump, elon and musk, this post is giving me more keywords to add.

        Nah, brah, nah. See, I already did all this. In 2016-2024. I did my hitch.

        Trump says something bizarre, offensive, and deeply outrageous - the world reacts, and the cycle repeats every 24 hours.

        They literally ripped children out of the arms of their parents, put them in freezing cages, then lost them in the system and they haven’t seen their parents since. That’s about as evil as anyone needs to be to buy a shovel to the face and here these absolute fuckwits elected him again.

        Nah. Peace. When the camps spin up, I’ll be in the trenches with everyone else but until then - I’m setting healthy boundaries for myself. No trumps.

        If I get weak or curious and just have to dig into the insanity it’ll be there. That’s a guarantee.
