Not only would I like to not hear about any of the assholes or shitty crap going on for a week, id like to not talk about them either. Is it even possible?

Not for like censorship reasons but for more mental health and logic reasons. Do people’s moods improve? Is more interesting and funny content generated? Does the media/news algorthym absolutely shit itself?

Yes yes I’m sure you can filter out what you don’t want to see personally and what not blah blah blah, but I mean for us. All of us. Maybe we just need to ignore the fuccbois for a bit. Imagine a world without them

    You’re getting the response you expected, and that’s just how it is, but I am here in solidarity with being so FUCKING BORED of having to hear about these motherfuckers all the time.

    Its unhealthy to ignore and hide away from problems of the world.

    If you want to avoid that sort of content, either setup keyword / instance blocks to control what you see, or go offline entirely for some time.

    To follow your suggestion though - theres no one person/team that controls the fediverse. To get, for example, all trump posts banned across all the fediverse you would need agreement from all instance admins to agree to it, and enforce it

      I’d argue it’s unhealthy to obsess over the same topics every day/week/month/year but okay a week off from it is “unhealthy?” Nah.

      Yeah I kinda figured. Could the whole fediverse ignore man babies for a week? I bet no, but I’d love to be surprised

        Then stop obsessing over them.

        And stop projecting your obsession onto the entire fediverse.

    I’ll decide what I see and don’t see, thank you very much.

    What kind of chump would support a paternalistic idea like this?

    Go back to being a Reddit admin and stay there if you want to force restrictions on other users for their own good.

    Edit: Another idea is for you to start your own Lemmy instance. IMO, PaternalisticChumps.world has a great ring to it.
