    Do you browse All frequently? When I browse my subscribed comms I don’t see that much politics stuff. (I have a separate account for that, when I’m feeling more resilient than usual.)

    You’re trying to avoid politics by filtering keywords, yet your own thread title contains the word “politics”. Curious.

    OP made a post trying to figure out how to make his town less lame but also wants to avoid all “politics”… 😮‍💨

    What if I told you that everything is “politics”, be it buying groceries, entertainment, wearing clothes, healthcare, getting around town, having sex, owning a home or getting paid?

    If you don’t want politics involved, just add the name of every country.

    Also “migrant,” (gets rid of immigrant too) “refuge,” (gets rid of refugee) “asylum,” “vaccine,” “climate change,” and “global warming.”

    Also with “Israel” and “Zionism” in your list, add “bomb,” “missile,” “dea” (for dead and death).

        Also a lot of porn which ranges from legit ametuer to professional and possibly illegal. Like half of all posts when you sort by new is porn.

          …there’s only one porn I can think of which would be illegal, and if thats what you’re seeing, report EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT!!!

          Spam the report button.

            I’ve seen a couple of sketchy tinytitties posts that I made an anonymous tip for authorities to look into. I downvote them all but I don’t report them because I’m 100% certain the mods would be aware if there is any illegal materials in the mix.

              If it looks remotely like CSAM, report it. Mods don’t always know whats posted, unless we get a report. I don’t mod any porn communities, but I’m sure there’s bickering in the communities I do mod that I never see.

    If you need time away from these topics for mental health, then this is can be a good idea. I wish you all the best.

    If you have other, quality news sources that’s fine too.

    If it’s just because it’s “annoying” and you do not want to engage, then bear in mind that you are simply burying your head in the sand. Politics are not simply words, and will affect you and your loved one’s lives and rights.

    The leopards come for everyone’s faces eventually.

          Curating one’s feeds does not inherently lead to ignorance.

          I’ve been aggressively filtering my newsfeed for years now and I didn’t suddenly forget about all the corruption and injustice. I just have no need for those headlines to overwhelmingly dominate my day-to-day ingestion of news. “Corrupt Oligarch Continues Campaign Against Human Rights” isn’t news to me; it’s the status quo. I don’t need a dozen headlines to remind me the sky is blue every day.

        Everything is political. What you don’t want to see is either controversy, or bad news. A lot of people call controversy and bad news political, and they’re wrong. We all experience politics all the time, and it’s quite tolerable, even fun, when the controversy and bad news is taken out.

        I gave some suggestions on the top-level for political things you can remove that aren’t controversial or bad news; Linux and Star Trek. If you don’t want to remove those, then you should consider being more specific about what you don’t like.
