Actually infuriating things are so far outside of the purpose of this community. When I want to read about the terrible things happening in the world, I go read about them. When I’m trying to take a break and refresh my mind, it is aggravating that I’m still forced to view these issues in my fun communities.
If we aren’t going to outright forbid it, could we maybe at least enforce a tag, something like [RI] for really infuriating stuff so that it could be more easily filtered out?
I’d love that. I’ve got every American community blocked and my keyword filter set with every word I could think of about America. It makes Lemmy usabe, but there’s still tons of American politics that makes it through.
