I’m temporarily taking a break from political activism, and it is tiring seeing everything right now. I have been politically active for 5 years now, and I desperately need a break. Voyager for Lemmy, at least for me, pushes political content like crazy.

On Eternity for Lemmy, its super easy.

After the election. I decided I just needed to take a break from the constant stream of negativity. Using these keywords in my post filter has removed political posts almost completely:

Trump, Kamala, Vance, Walz, Biden, Harris, Donald, Republican, Republicans, Democrat, Democrats, GOP, DNC, MAGA, liberal, conservative, government, court, Military, NATO, Nazi, Election, genocide, fascist, fascism, Twitter, trans, gender, police, cop, cops, abortion, federal, Europe, U.S., American, China, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Russia, Russian, Chinese, Ukraine, Cruz, Thomas,

I recognize my privilege of being able to ignore these posts temporarily, and hope to come back from my hiatus with the will to do something about our awful political situation.
