「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」 | (aka: 鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma)Does anyone else feel like fediverse (particulary Lemmy) is getting more and more quieter?
skooma_kingI’ve seen a lot more pro violence posts and comments lately, which is pretty off putting. I’ve not posted several times because I don’t want to end up on a list because of some echo chambers of maladjusted people. I don’t comment that often to begin with, and lemme/piefed seems to attract people banned from other platforms and other weirdos. Just not a very welcoming platform.

I don’t see much if any content promoting violence myself (I also don’t post any, and was not banned from anywhere: I left reddit the I realized I disagreed with their policy).
So, if I may ask: have you tried using the settings to decide what’s (not) displayed in your home feed, coupled with keywords and blocking the most obvious trolls, those are fine tools to remove most if not all of that… sad content.
For example, on my home feed I only display ‘Subscribed’ content meaning that the only content I read comes from those communities I’m already subscribed to… none of which promoting any violence or, when this happens or when I realize some community is not as as I expected it to be I just unsubscribe from it and I don’t have to read it ever again. Also, I don’t hesitate to block people the moment I realize they’re to trigger emotions and provoke, not to discuss.
