I am pretty sure if US starts bombing their country, OP could do shit about it on here.
If it would be announced beforehand lemmy would not be the only thing talking about it so OP would get the message, if it would be announced then all the retroactive posts would not help them.
Works well for Lemmy (Boost app is great for blocking keywords). It has been really good for me to do this in my news RSS app as well. It has been great to break away from the endless cycle of Trump sating shit to get everyone agitated and then chickening out. It's a much more peaceful life.
When I see people posting stuff I don’t want to see but can’t otherwise easily filter (based off link domain or keyword in post title or community name), I will downvote. Once I see a user account with enough net downvotes, that’s a cue for me to consider blocking them.
This works sorta well for me, but someone else’s experience may vary.
Anytime I see someone posting political stuff in non-political communities, I check their post history. Almost without fail they're only posting political content, so I'll block them. If I want politics, I'll read the newspaper.
Yeah you are right,
Bad analogy perhaps, but the idea of blocking communication from a political camp/ideology whether you agree or disagree seems to be the main issue in the US no? Isn’t it true both camps (Dems and Rep) have their constituents completely on different news diets? Thus they yell at each other because they live in totally different realities? And so no real conversation can be had? Just seems the blocking of information is the root of the problem…
Alas I’m not from the us, so not sure why I care lol.
Unfortunately American "Freedom" is for both parties to hold unhinged believes about the other. "You're entitled to your wrong opinion" mindset over here. One group understands the fetus is clump of cells, the other believe it's a miracle; when both views can be right but one party is trying to disenfranchise and contort the law to force women into giving birth against their will.
Enough big issues pile up that you, your friends and your family can't even discuss world geo/politics without an underhanded comment that people deserve what they sow. One party thinks the other is a bunch of freeloaders and the other party claim landlords are freeloaders.

Might have a chance of doing something if you get armed & trained. Not if you spend your time rotting your brain with foreign propaganda.
Griffus@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 136d
But... They have blocked the foreign propaganda?

Yes. They found all of the keywords and subs for foreign propaganda.

if you won't block the non-kinetic USAn attack with a few clicks, you're hardly gonna stop a kinetic campaign

Zomg@piefed.world · 7 pts · 137d
Mind sharing your keywords? I try to keep my political posts to a minimum but I'm sure it could be improved with additional words
Edit: NVM I see you posted Screenshots
Fwiw, here's mine:

Hmm.. That does sound like very peaceful browsing…
But you could argue that you are just like those people on a Fox News diet? It seems to me, to be pretty bad to only receive news from a single camp?
I know I know, that stuff barely passes as news nowadays, but aren’t we just creating deeper rifts and diferent realities even more?
Just a thought
myotheraccount@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 136d

But yeah, I’m tempted to block a few thing tbh.

tbh it's tough because even worldnews is infected, a ton of posts are essentially Trump/USA says/does/mentions/invades
So somehow even in a forum dedicated to not being about America they are still mentioned
