What do you think of an option to ban politics from the feed on account registration like this:
Effectively, when you click “no politics”, it should block the !news@lemmy.world, !politics@lemmy.world, !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, !pravda_news@news.abolish.capital communities and such for the newly registered user.
It would help clear up the feed and be more attractive to new users. Maybe this could even be the default view when you’re not logged in.
I can kind of sympathize with this person. In a lib environment, all the Trump and Musk posting is like an impotent hate cult about the dang cheeto, etc. etc. There’s no idea about how to make a better world, just endless later night talkshow hosts making epic denunciations over and over without ever saying something new. It’s emotional masochism to just stew in that.
I think it would be good to try to meet someone like this where they are and show them that you can engage with politics in a healthier way if you aren’t a miserable lib who acts like a hundred trillion clapbacks are the way to defeat fascism.
yeah slop is my favorite community and all but i still can’t get past the first half of the first page of reddit rall. it makes me want to throw up
