The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else.
I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?
I have a filter on, I block the words “Elon”, “Kamala” and “Trump”. Furthermore I block politics community. It’s not like they are about anything else than US politics anyway.
There are still some news sites that publish an RSS feed, build an aggregator and filter out words you don’t like
Thats actually a cool idea, I’m learning rust these days, and building a personal news feed feels like a doable project with a ton of useful lessons built in. Thanks!
Some apps/frontends have keyword filters, could just filter out the word “Trump” as a way of trimming down the feed.
If you use the Google feed in pixel launcher, add the keywords you want to block.
That was the first thing i did 2016…
