I almost never see US politics. This is because I browse by "subscribed".
you mean the insane amount of trump memes are just an illusion?
(... as I look at my subscribed communities...) What Trump memes?
Same here. Lemmy is almost unusable if I browse by all.
Same. I would have left long ago if that was not for that setting and without a careful selection of whatever community I subscribe to ;)
My only blocked content is a few people who I can't be bothered reading again. I also have two words blocked: Trump, Musk just to make sire 99.9% of the shittiest content is filtered out.
careful, you might upset an american.
Nah we're trying to get away from it, too.
As an American I fully agree. I've completely had it with our politics infesting everything, everywhere, all the time. For everyone's sanity it needs to stop. More communities need to have and enforce a "No US Politics" rule. No Trump, no Elon, no AOC, no Bernie, no State Senator from bumblefuck Alabama or Los Angeles, California. None of it. Just.Fucking.Stop.Already.
why don't you go to another country?
Simple to say, not so simple to do. I'd love to honestly.
Block the word "Trump" and block communities you don't like. It's remarkably effective.
As someone from the US blocking "Trump" and "Musk" are vital for sanity.
lemmy.today##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/trump/i"))
Add that to your adblock custom filters and create a new one for every keyword you want to block. If you start blocking entire communities that post about U.S. politics, you’re going to kill your feed completely - I’ve tried that already.
Keep in mind that these filters apply even when the keyword is part of another word, so if you filter the term “ice,” it’ll also block titles that mention “police.” You can get around this by adding spaces on both sides of the word.
Also, the instance in front of the filter needs to match the one you’re on, so in my case the filter is:
feddit.uk##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/trump/i"))
Or if you good mateys know of any tricks one could apply, cause every other post here is about the US
A very simple method would just be blocking those as you see them.
And then keep blocking them.
It's not exactly difficult, I do it with all the AI and most of the meme communities.
Every once and a while someone makes a new one, but you just block it when you see it.
Start with this one.
