You can use uBlock Origin to block certain keywords in posts!

Why

If you’re like me, you’re really tired of seeing the lemmy homepage and every community fill up with really bad news from the US.

How

First, open the uBlock Origin dashboard, navigate to My Filters tab and add the appropriate line.

# lemmy.world
# thanks to /u/zkfcfbzr
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Musk|ICE|Vance|slop|Microsoft|Grok|Republican|Democrat|Republicans|GOP|Democrats/i)

# lemmy.zip
lemmy.zip##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Musk|ICE|Vance|slop|Microsoft|Grok|Republican|Democrat|Republicans|GOP|Democrats/i)

Because the Lemmy HTML is generally the same on each instance, the above should work if you change the first part to the Lemmy domain. Then replace the | pipe separated keywords with your own list.

Here are some other things you can do:

# filter comments
# thanks to /u/Free_Opinions@feddit.uk
lemmy.world##article.comment-node:has(div.comment-content:has(p:has-text(/trump/i)))

# filter posts with certain words, with exceptions
# thanks to /u/zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3/i):not(:has-text(/word4|word5|word6/i))

    That’s unfair. I read The Guardian and the Australian Broadcasting Channel every day, and routinely check the Wikipedia Current Events page. I am up to date with the news. But I don’t come to Lemmy to get even more news about the fascist US, and their effects on the world.

    Being surrounded by it all day affects my headspace, and I’m aware of that. It’s not weakness that I protect myself.

    Now kindly fuck off.
