Edit: some of you need to step outside and smell some fresh air, I promise it wont bite
Edit to the edit: this goes doubly for the people private messaging me their manifesto
I’m surprised there are any posts left with those filters.
There’s actually a good bunch of people posting wholesome entertaining posts if you filter out the noise
Can confirm, there’s plenty
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?
I sympathize with OP tbh. While babies being murdered is bad, I want SOME TIME in my life where I don’t have to think about that for the sake of my own survival.
Politics affects more or less everything, but that doesn’t mean it is those things. If you’re not able to examine the list OP posted and see what proper subset of “everything” they’re trying to filter out, you need to think harder.
Oh no,caught red handed!!
I can get behind virtually everything in that list, but pls explain the political influence in having sex
promoting either CIS or non-CIS agenda.
You misspelled “Israel”, fyi
Isfake
Worth it to add both spellings IMO
Ooh you right
Isn’treal
You’re trying to avoid politics by filtering keywords, yet your own thread title contains the word “politics”. Curious.
That just means they won’t be able to view their own post. Maybe it’s not a bad idea.
Oh no I’ve created a paradox
“slams” “melts down”
Add “Trek”, Star Trek is very political.
And “Linux” and “Open Source”, free software is communist.
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.
Meh, you’re overthinking it
No, they are not. You are underthinking it, and if your replies here are any indication, you enjoy underthinking.
Oh no, trickdacy’s mad I don’t want politics on lemmy specifically, I better take a long, hard look at my life and think about what I’ve done 🥺
I better take a long, hard look at my life and think about what I’ve done 🥺
We both know you won’t start doing that
😉
Take a chill pill, yeesh
Sorry to disturb you with the idea of “politics” not being something one should hide from. It must mean something is wrong with me that I think that.
Yeah I actually would argue it does OP had said they get their politics elsewhere, not on lemmy, and here you are doubling down that they’re blocking out all politics in their life.
And even if that weren’t the case, who cares? Mind your own business and let them do what they want, it’s really not that hard
must be nice being able to afford to not care about these things
It’s so nice
Add “linux” and enjoy the empty feed
You forgot Star Trek
No such thing as anything “politics free”. Also trying to make any consumption “politics free” is damming to what kind of person you are and not in a good way.

This is objectively correct. We are social mammals and everything we do is steeped in politics. We live in a social world and we navigate power, privilege, wealth and ideologies in everything we do - politics.
Believing you can go politics free just marks you as either naive or callous.
At least this is in a shitposting forum, the correct venue for such an idea.
ukraine iran court oil
Good list, and I think I can just replace iranian with iran since the way boost works that counts for both

Edit: Fuck, you got me I didn’t notice where we are so I shitposted right back
Tbh it can be a shitpost but I’m actually making the blocklist, good additions!

Germans, beekeepers and people observing reality in shambles
I can use regexes, so it makes it a bit shorter list:
Ooh is that an app or desktop?
Webapp. It’s the development branch of Tesseract.
This is a good idea, y’all acting like OP literally doesn’t listen to news, they said they just don’t want to get their news on lemmy.
And I agree, you guys are being dramatic AF
