      He’s basically the new Trump, in that for five years you could not escape Trump’s fucking face on every website you visited. Perhaps Musk isn’t quite that level, but he’s not far off. He’s in the news an insane amount, and it’s basically as annoying as Trump, only he’s not as ugly or stupid.

        Elon is Desantis. Like him or not, Trump makes great TV. Its like the best thriller ever created. Elon is fine when other people talk about him. But when he’s on TV, he’s boring just like Ron. He’s got no personality.

        These people gotta worship someone because they lack any sort of self identity of their own and critical thinking skills.

        They need a leader to tell them what to do.

          Are you assuming there’s so much bad coverage of Musk because people worship him? It’s almost always dunking on how much of an idiot he is and hoping he loses lots of money.

          I understand it can be legitimately annoying to hear about some people repeatedly, but when the discourse is about how awful those people are, you’re better off just not clicking the link. Let people who want to eat popcorn at the circus do so and leave the circus.

        I still see Trumps face everywhere, though primarily on left wing media. Oddly enough, I see it there more than I do on right wing media. (Gotta see what both sides are saying, the truth is in the middle somewhere)

        What app or webui are you using? Most of them have keyword filters now.

            I primarily use Thunder, but Mlem, Memmy, and Arctic have filters afaik. Avelon has filters but you need to pay for it. That’s what I’ve seen with what I’ve tested. Liftoff only has blocking of users/communities.

        Arctic has separate filters for the post body and post title, which is really nice.

        Avelon has keyword filtering and also supports instance blocking.

        Both have been great!

            Ah, didn’t realize that was a paid feature (already paid so I can’t see what is or isn’t paid).

            I’m not a fan of web apps, they’re much slower than native. Arctic is completely free for all features, so that could be a better choice for someone wanting filters and a native experience. It’s still in TestFlight at the moment, link in sidebar for its community.
