Actually infuriating things are so far outside of the purpose of this community. When I want to read about the terrible things happening in the world, I go read about them. When I’m trying to take a break and refresh my mind, it is aggravating that I’m still forced to view these issues in my fun communities.
If we aren’t going to outright forbid it, could we maybe at least enforce a tag, something like [RI] for really infuriating stuff so that it could be more easily filtered out?
In my experience it’s the entirety of Lemmy, not just few communities.
What people don’t realize is that by engaging with it they are promoting Musk. It would be far better if he was just forgotten about by the public.
If the public wanted to forget about him, they wouldn’t interact with his posts. A lot of people actually enjoy being annoyed by his posts I believe.
It’s a bit like chatting with your mates about how bad someone is… It’s bonding over something awful.
