Thought experiment: Is it possible to ban posts across all feds about trump, elon and similar topics for a week? - Lemmy.World

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

Why do you want to control what other people say so much?
I feel like none of you read the post

We did. You basically said you would rather we all stopped talking about fuccbois instead of you filtering it out client side.

but I mean for us. All of us.

The first two words were Thought Experiment. Usually that implies, “Hey, what do you think would happen if X? Is it even possible?”

Einstein’s thought experiments led to the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Every real world experiment starts as a thought experiment. Especially if your “thought experiment” takes the form of “is this even possible? How could we do this?”
