Ok, can we puh-leese stop talking about corporate media siloses on the fediverse? I keep seeing Elon's stupid mug plastered all over the media, can Lemmy be the exception, pretty please?

We can stop talking about after we've destroyed it

It's quite ironic that for a lot of people "destroying twitter" means spending half a day there, finding rage-inducing tweets and sharing them on other social media sites just so they can enjoy the free traffic and engagement. It would be nice if we could, you know, ignore it and let it die.

The Switzerland approach isn't going to work. It's datacenters must be rendered inoperable and disconnected from the grid and its billionaires made to flee to their bunkers.

I Set up the content filter with „Elon“ and „musk“ which significantly reduced it. Now it’s just posts like these that remain. Can’t recommend enough!

But then how am I supposed to find out about the latest manly cologne?

Content filters! I've got them for Trump, Elon, "Slammed", "Dragged", "Blasted" and the question mark, because news headlines in the form of questions can almost always be answered with the word "no" and are not worth my time.

This is 100% the answer. My filter list is exhaustive and its curated a feed for me that doesn't actively destroy my mental health.
