I would love to sometimes filter out any and all political posts, I think having this enabled as default on some instances would also be preferred by some users.
I’m a software dev, if it doesn’t require a lot of work I’m happy to make a Pull Request for this feature, but do people want this? Is there anyone I should maybe talk to before starting, or anything I should know?
News are quite anxious, and I understand that we have to take her of ourselves by categorize it. However all political contents do not bring anxiety. I’m sorry but ignoring people struggling for their lives with tag system is making hell places for them, not safe place.
I don’t see the point of that kind of contribution, and I must admit, I seems kind of suspicious to me
I see where you might be coming from especially given the impact that everything is having and how each of us can contribute towards a wider positive change by facing that more directly although I feel like most people have different objectives and capacities with Lemmy than rushing to encourage widespread legislative or systemic change. There is definitely value to be had with that approach although I personally am discouraged from posting or commenting on Lemmy with everything being compounded together. Some people do find diving into current geopolitical struggles to be exciting to dive into and I respect that wholeheartly but oftentimes, It’s just too much for me to want to keep up on. Not everyone is in a headspace where keeping up with everything is a welcoming or beneficial user experience. When I am here which tends to be a bit rare, I like using this platform to find funny memes, discuss about nerdy hobbies, and to find or make my own type of light to bring within this platform. Often that can be challenging and having additional options to narrow down on how I can curate my experience and to help figure out where other people share similar interests would certainly prove helpful.
