I’m not sure a filter would actually work that well. For example, it might block out Trump and Musk, but then a new keyboard keyword appears, and having to manually re-adjust the filtering all the time quickly becomes tedious.
Instead, it should probably be based on instances (for example, block a whole instance), communities (whitelist/blocklist communities), or some kind of more complicated recommendation algorithm, but i don’t know how that would work, or how to make it “unbiased” and fair.
I guess making new instances gives us the chance to block certain topics from the start, setting in new moderators that can maybe be more stringent on keeping the community fun.
yes, exactly. wanna start a matrix chat room? My matrix handle is [redacted, DM me] and i’m really thinking about starting a chat room about this issue … feel free to ping me either way if you feel like it :D
If you dont want to see those type of posts, then you can follow communities which dont include them. And block any instances/communities you dont like so they disappear from /all. You can also create your own community with your own rules, or your own instance. Neither of these things is difficult, they just need time and determination.
We need a server that just proxies the main instances but filters out every post containing “Trump” or “Musk”.

yes exactly thank you for this link :)
if you need any help setting up that new instance, let me help you :D i’m located in austria, if that matters.
Do you have experience in sysadmin of Lemmy instances? 😄
i have some experience in sysadmin in general, but not specifically lemmy yet. let me write you a DM.
Sure, thanks!
I’d endorse you once you make apolitical.org

Also the filters should include images of vote-slogans. Which could be tricky with OCR.
It can based on alt text

[email protected] is a good example

[email protected] added a rule against US politics. I guess [email protected] mods either don’t care or prefer to keep maximum activity

I’d subscribe to that one.
