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

    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

        There is a huge range between “entirely ignore” and “obsess over”. Vastly more nuance you are just ignoring.

        So don’t obsess about them and/or take a week off if you need to.

        But why should your personal issue with some topics affect everyone else?

          I mean my whole feed was nothing but Trump and Elon when I made the post. So universally disliked but getting so much attention to encourage the behavior

        Then stop obsessing over them.

        And stop projecting your obsession onto the entire fediverse.
