I use the frontend called tesseract on my computer and block keywords "trump" "elon" "washington" "musk" "republicans" "democrats" and then I judiciously block communities that make it to all with stuff I don't care about like European boycotts and pretty much anything about Canada.

The spammiest users on lemmy Blaze and Sunshine decided this is their new bullshit liberal cause. It is more nationalist garbage so I blocked it all and them.

Well, my kids are in university so, no.

The point is they know what the 2020s is. I had this conversation with them and they were able to pick out distinct styles and talk about all sorts of local and international stuff they listen to and watch. They have friends and go to local shows. They have their own thing going on. They can look at pictures from the 2000s, 2010s and now and tell the difference where I can't. Just because you're out of touch and seemingly miserable doesn't mean no one has a distinct identity today lol.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but that is because you are old. My kids listen to distinct music, play distinct games and know a whole group of celebrities I never heard of and will look back at the 20s as their teenage years that were distinct from the time that they look back on it from.

I don't know if this is the right place for this but I see you are trying to make it easier for new users, is there a way to block key words? I get it that it is in English so that is going to skew it but I don't live in the US I don't actually care about the Trump Reality TV show.

Yeah but the unvaxxed population in India are literally living in shacks with dirt floors and can barely read but the unvaxxed population in the US choose this because of facebook posts

When I was growing up in India I believed that I was surrounded by the dumbest and most ignorant people on earth, then I moved to the US for a while and was surprised most people remembered to breathe.

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" - Often wrongly attributed to Mark Twain or Abraham Lincoln but the earliest record is Maurice Switzer

Yeah, my parents were from a small village without reliable running water and toilets and I'm an computer microchip engineer that lives in a house I own with clean filtered water and a bidet.
