…that way you don’t have to see the media frantically reporting on every stupid word vomit as if no lessons were learned over the past 10 years. Ragebait headlines is part of the problem, and I will take no part in it.
That was my knee-jerk reaction as well, but sometimes news about them are actually newsworthy. I just was to filter out proof that news media never learned anything in 2016, and block all the stupid shit they say. When they do anything worth reporting on, that’s when I might be interested.
I added RFK to my list as I work in pharma so I can’t stand his nonsense, and I had to go back and add Elon as well, because they call him either equally as much and I was wondering why I was still seeing that dumbass in my feed.
Originally I was worried about missing out on important info. Listening to some people talk about it in one of my podcasts, they mentioned they were tired of seeing people say Trump will do this or that, they only care about hearing about what people are going to do about the dumb stuff he says and does.
That struck me, as firstly, he normally doesn’t do the majority of stuff he says, and secondly, if he does actually do anything of significance, I’ll see it on AP or NPR. If I don’t see it that way, that means nobody is fighting to stop it anyway.
I know everything these clowns do is going to be bad or stupid, I don’t need to constantly be told that because I already know. I want to hear the names of who is going to do something about it, or I don’t want to hear about them at all in my Lemmy feed, which is supposed to be fun or educational for me.
Other news that is less engaging can deliver the bad news when it needs to, but if I control my feed here, I’m going to make it less frustrating. Reading about these jerks the last few years has done any good.
I don’t want to turn Lemmy into my own personal doom scroll. Nothing good is going to come out of the next 4 years and if anything is truly immediately bad that I need to deal with, it’ll be everywhere not just here.
Non-Americans are also exhausted by US political news…
Lemmy gets better once you filter out:
Trump says
Trump wants
Trump demands
Trump claims
Trump will
Trump threatens
Musk says
Musk wants
Musk demands
Musk claims
Musk will
…that way you don’t have to see the media frantically reporting on every stupid word vomit as if no lessons were learned over the past 10 years. Ragebait headlines is part of the problem, and I will take no part in it.
How does one attain this power?
It’s done client side. I’m using Voyager.
Perhaps we should shorten that too:
Trump
Musk

You’ll be able to read when they have any appreciable impact without those keywords in the headline though.

Absolutely my feelings on the matter.

You’re not kidding, eh?
not empty?
