I hope this is the one thing that he actually follows through on. Drive a stake through it already

I really hope so too. I’m tired of Musk.

We all are. He sucks so much and looks like a dollar store Kathy Bates.

I’m trying to figure out if that’s more insulting to Kathy Bates or Dollar Stores.

I wish Lemmy had keyword filters.

Edit: hmmm… Maybe the slur filter will work. Let’s try.

The beauty of the Fediverse is that many tasks like this can be done by the client, as opposed to the actual base software.

For instance, Lemmy can’t actually block instances or “subs” (or whatever the equivalent is) on an individual level, but Voyager can.

On another point, as much as I hate hearing about Musk and Twitter, they are both very powerful, and both have an impact on the world. Especially if Twitter were to become an “everything app” (AKA Superapp)(which it hopefully won’t).

If you’re using Lemmy on iPhone, Memmy (application) provides this feature. It works pretty well
