Basically my entire feed is like swiss cheese due to all the articles about Trump and Musk.

Does someone actually enjoy consuming this stuff all day every day? I can’t possibly imagine Lemmy ever becoming popular among the normies if this is what they’d need to deal with.

    I dont understand, whats the infuriating part? How it would look without the filter? Is the image supposed to be an inspiration for filtering politics?

    Edit: Ah I see, the horizontal lines represent filtered posts and there are a lot. To be fair, c/news has a looot of posts, sometimes I scroll past 10-15 in a row. Some are more relevant than others. Also, to answer your (kinda rhetoric) question, Lemmy is my main news source so I want to see the politics stuff.

      The horizontal lines would just make me proud my filter works so well. My client doesn’t have them, so I have no idea how much gets filtered.
