I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

  1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
  2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
  3. Browse to Lemmy
  4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
  5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
  6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

True, but as a non US person I don't give a shit about US politics or personalities.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 12 points 11 months ago

Don't forget, the US has nukes. We're everybody's problem.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

We just assume you're dumb enough to nuke yourself.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

They have almost nuked them a couple times.

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

if all the nukes America has went off at once, wouldn't it be enough to destroy the planet or something?

[-] hohoho@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Like it or not, the US has tremendous influence around the world. The rise in populism may not appeal to you, but that doesn’t mean that it may not be coming for you.

[-] IAmNotACat@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Some people are active in their own political communities without needing the likes of their online meme communities and other peripheral interests being flooded by political discussion from Americans.

An important step towards reducing America’s tremendous influence around the world is to divest ourself from participation in their political sphere at a cultural and national level.

We don’t need to constantly validate Americans that their country is the political centre of the entire world. That’s part of the problem.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Again, true. But still don't give a shit about US politics and personalities.

[-] hohoho@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That’s your choice. Godspeed

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

We live in a global society, my friend.

Unfortunately they affect us all.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 11 months ago

you know what it will help with? my exhaustion. you cannot get 'angry' if you are completely fucking drained of energy. these people just want a break.

[-] hohoho@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That’s what they want though. They want us to be miserable and exhausted. This is our time to stand guard over Democracy so we can safely pass the baton to the next generation. Are you going to give them what they want?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 11 months ago

I dont have anything left to give. youre not getting more blood from this stone regardless of how much you guilt trip me

[-] hohoho@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Not trying to guilt trip you Mr Lucifer. Take all the time you need. Just know that some of us still have a lot of fight left in them. Feel free to jump in if/when you have the strength to show these Nazi scum what’s wrong and what’s right

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 11 months ago

yes, im not saying 'no' forever. but i know me and my friends who ran phone banks and did all the things need a break after the last cycle. i know we cant wait 4 years to act.. or even 2.. but were all very tired.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won't make the problem go away either.

[-] MaiteRosalie@moist.catsweat.com 17 points 11 months ago

This kind of filrter would be very helful if it was built into the site. Being able to block words/subjects.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 11 months ago

Petition to add this as an actual feature that could block posts, communities, comments amd users /srs

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 11 months ago

there is a feature request for mbin to implement this. ive started noodling on the code to potentially contribute. i want it for the same reasons

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Or...

lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you're on)

[-] computabloke@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

While we're at it, any recommendations for a Lemmy Android client that can do the same?

Jerboa doesn't appear to have anything other than blocking by: site, community or user.

[-] gressen@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago
[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 11 months ago

How can I do that? I couldn't find it on the settings.

[-] gressen@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago
[-] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That feature is not on the iOS version sadly.

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

It’s in mine. App version 2.18.5.

[-] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Ah, solved it. Need to be logged in before it appears.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Would you believe me when I say that it simply doesn't appears in my screen???

P.S.: Voyager 2.18.4, by the way, not my main app but I have it installed.

[-] gressen@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's strange. I'm running same version. Someone mentioned that it's not available on iPhone, perhaps that's the reason?

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think so. I'm on Android.

[-] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Voyager too for iOS users. Closest app to Apollo in the beforefore times.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
