Try liberal
No matter how much you add, some things will still slip through because people give their posts stupid titles
Definitely, I just give those ones a quick user block
Here’s something I do. I block specific communities, and some people for the extreme amount of rage baiting political bullshit.
My list was getting pretty long tell I started doing that.
Also I block specific websites so they don’t show up like CNN. Keywords are a good start but on Voyager I have actively just blocked (or is it muted?) people/instances/communities that are rage baiting political shit.
Always remember though, it’s a privilege to not be able to interact with politics. I do on my own terms for my own mental health. But avoiding it not good as politics is literally anything that humans do. I just refuse to let the toxic 24/7 news bullshit get to me. As I’m one of people they actively target for “existing”.
Also I blocked YouTube website because its constantly just people uploading there videos to get more views.
This should be the default filter list on every app
Turbo loser behavior 😆😆😆
You can add plenty more, if you want no politics you need to evenly cover both political aisles because stuff will creep in that you didn’t want anyway.

Why is this search not working?
I also have elon, musk and ICE.
Why would you filter out the ICE? They are amazing german trains, super fast and reliable. No Person has ever complained about them because they are amazing. Did i already mention how reliable and amazing they are?
And there is never a discussion about if they need more or less funding. So it’s a completly unpolitical topic, because they are not only reliable but also amazing

Won’t be able to see posts aboot en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopalpa_donaldtrumpi either 😔
I’m having sooo little political content without any setup on my end, probably thanks to how my instance is configured
I honestly thing you should just use a different network.
Cozy.talk looks pretty adorable.
For your filter to work, you’d have to add many other words. Politics is the distribution of political goods, including attention and significance. If you pay attention to something or think something is significant, that is politics. So for your filter to work, you’d have to filter out anything and everything that you pay attention to and think is significant.
So lasagna bolognese is politics?
I know it sounds absurd. You’re thinking I’m insane. You’re thinking there’s no way a sane human being believes lasagne bolognese is politics. You’re thinking my definition of politics is useless or absurd.
But let’s look at this closely. Again, politics is the distribution of political goods and our assessments of those distributions.
Being aware that politics is everywhere means we can choose what to pay attention to and what to do. It’s fine to choose lasagna bolognese. It’s fine to choose what kind of life you want. We’re involved in politics even if we don’t know it. We’re already somewhat skilled at it.
You mean the meat-based dish? A product of an industry that relies on subjecting animals to cruel conditions while also frequently exploiting the labor of poor immigrants (including undocumented ones), while the bosses receive tax subsidies from the government?
But suppose I don’t bring any of that up. Suppose you have a community that’s just for recipies, and I post a comment under each recipie providing vegan substitutes. Suppose someone else starts replying to my comments suggesting ways to include more meat in recipies and starts cracking jokes about it. Is that political?
It is for someone. For example, someone who dislikes the Americanization of Italian cuisine, or dislikes the spread of Italian-American culture in their country. Maybe someone from Sicily who feels like Sicilian culture is underrepresented when talking about Italian culture.
But yeah, my point is that just because it’s not political for you doesn’t mean it’s never political. But if you want an online space where you only see ideas and culture you agree with, then you can absolutely do that.

Making the assumption that you are getting your news somewhere else, not just burying your head in the sand, what are some sources that you, or anyone else who takes this approach, using to stay informed?

I mean yes but there’s not a lot of actual post titles with that I don’t think it would do much

Doesn’t help. You’d need forced tagging on creation to have something reliable.
