I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

  1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
  2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
  3. Browse to Lemmy
  4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
  5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
  6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.

@hohoho
People can keep up with the situation and work to change it without also being drowned by it when trying to keep in touch with others online.

Getting angry at wading through hot takes just raises my blood pressure and wastes time I need to engage usefully irl.
