Not only would I like to not hear about any of the assholes or shitty crap going on for a week, id like to not talk about them either. Is it even possible?

Not for like censorship reasons but for more mental health and logic reasons. Do people’s moods improve? Is more interesting and funny content generated? Does the media/news algorthym absolutely shit itself?

Yes yes I’m sure you can filter out what you don’t want to see personally and what not blah blah blah, but I mean for us. All of us. Maybe we just need to ignore the fuccbois for a bit. Imagine a world without them

    @Rhynoplaz sure, but your their thought experiment was about whether or not it would be possible for you them to ban the fediverse from talking about some topics.

    People who are telling you them they don’t want that, are simply responding to the hypothetical.

      I had nothing to do with this. Just a rando passing through reading comments. I saw OP was getting jumped on for their phrasing.

      If they had said “What if we could go a week without hearing about these fucks?” Everybody would celebrate the idea, but most people ignored that part and couldn’t help but attack OP over censorship.

      I just felt bad that nobody was actually participating in the question, but going out of their way to bring OP down.

        @Rhynoplaz sorry, have corrected my comment.

        Fair enough. I see what you mean. If OP had asked what if we collectively agreed to stop doing something instead of asking what if it were possible to ban us from doing it “for” our own good, the conversation would be different.
