      He’s the fucking president elect, not some troll. You can’t ignore him and make him go away.

        You definitely can ignore [Trump quote of the day] and the 24h news cycle.

        Reading about what’s current once a week and otherwise just picking up stuff from conversations with your peers is enough.

          There are two parts to my statement. You can ignore him… BUT he doesn’t simply go away. He will be deciding us policy for the next two years.

        You definitely can, but you’ll have to uninstall Lemmy and all other social media for a while.

          This is the one thing that’s better about that other site. It’s so big that you can ignore politics while still enjoying your communities.

            I’m really missing keyword filtering from Lemmy. I had it in Infinity. I filtered so many keywords, from American politicians, bitcoin, and others. It was blissful.

              Many of the Lemmy apps have keyword filtering. The one I know of is Thunder but I know there are others.

          It’s not about “being offended”. This moron is going to be the most powerful person in the county. What he says and thinks effects markets and trade.
