I go online as an escape from reality. So why the fuck would I hangout in a space where I’m surrounded by terrible views regarding women, race, gender, etc? We’re all in echo chambers. I don’t come here to debate some asshole that thinks climate change is a hoax and ICE is good.
This is the way.
The best time to uninstall social media is 10 years ago. The second best time is now.
I just did that earlier today - 100% works.
110%
Need to save this for the next time somebody says Lemmy is too toxic :3
Can Lemmy block keywords yet?
Voyager can!
(I even put some arrows pointing towards it :3)
I’m pretty sure it can. At least on jerboa app
How? Opening Jerboa now, I see I can block things like users, communities, and instances, but I don’t see a way to block a keyword.
Yep looks like I was wrong. Could’ve sworn it had that capability. Maybe I was thinking of Apollo or something?
You can do it on boost
A bunch of third-party apps have that feature, just not base Lemmy itself. Copying an old post of mine (which may be a bit outdated at this point):
Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:
- Blorp
- Boost
- Connect
- Eternity
- Interstellar
- Raccoon
- Summit
- Sync
- Tesseract
- Thunder
- Voyager
Do NOT support keyword filtering:
- Alexandrite
- Jerboa
- Lemmy UI
- mlmym
- Next
- Photon
- Quiblr
Comment anything I have missed or mistakes I made
Added Blorp, which I believe launched after I had initially made that post. Let me know if there is anything else.
“I don’t like reality.”
puts on VR headset
The line between acknowledging an unpleasant reality exists and submersing yourself in an unpleasant reality really isn’t all that fine in my experience.
Though I’m not sure that people are generally comfortable wearing VR headsets, as they exist in 2026, for many hours.
Comfortable… Physically, or because of the privacy concerns? 🤔
I could spend all day in current offerings. It was taking it off that made me feel ill* more than being in it.
(*Aside from the time some fat Asp barreling into the slot as I was exiting slammed into me and sent me spinning outta control hella fast in Elite.)
Oh, no, I was thinking having them on. Like, sweat building up, stuff like that, weight.
Weight’s not too bad if you have a counterweight so it’s not all in the front. There’s also at least 1 out there (BigPicture, IIRC) that has a headset that’s super small almost like a pair of glasses, but not quite that small. It’s smaller than the Frame is.
Sweat is a mixed bag and there’s a downside to both foam (absorbs sweat, gets nasty, some models also are itchy af) and silicone (becomes slippery, doesn’t breath so you sweat more).
Really the biggest thing keeping it trom becoming a bigger scene is probably the lack of good software. Alyx is still the best thing you can play exclusive to VR. Most other shit is basically mobile shovelware and artsy “experiences”/tech demos.
Imagine the trouble we could have avoided if our media would do the same…
I knew we were in trouble when troll posts were becoming nightly news. Now we have a demented pedophile troll as president. Yay…
Well it’s what the people want. If you can’t beat them, join them? Fuck taking the high road
Is there a reason they are reposting everything that’s over a year old?
Because this place is an echo chamber where critical thinking is questioned but simplistic memes are celebrated
critical thinking is questioned
Is it?
Very much so
I feel attacked.
