Not only would I like to not hear about any of the assholes or shitty crap going on for a week, id like to not talk about them either. Is it even possible?

Not for like censorship reasons but for more mental health and logic reasons. Do people’s moods improve? Is more interesting and funny content generated? Does the media/news algorthym absolutely shit itself?

Yes yes I’m sure you can filter out what you don’t want to see personally and what not blah blah blah, but I mean for us. All of us. Maybe we just need to ignore the fuccbois for a bit. Imagine a world without them

    Some Lemmy apps do allow you to block posts by keywords. But this isn’t built into the account itself, just the local app filter.

    On Mastodon, they do actually let you filter out posts by keywords and it syncs with your account. No matter what device you use or switch to it will remember your filter settings.

    I don’t think one person should decide for everyone on the whole Fedi, what people can see I would argue to leave this to specific instance moderators. The instance moderators themselves should be able to filter out words, and also what terms they filter out for everyone absolutely must be transparent so users know what is filtered out on a server by server basis
