Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
It seems like you don’t quite understand how federated services work.
Here’s a quick primer on how you can improve your federated internet experience.
You could also continue to complain about things you can easily fix, that is also an option.
“Their upvote ratio is too damn high”, is an instant classic btw.
Given your replies so far you seem to be looking for something a bit less echo-chambery (or as i suspect a chamber where the echoes are more to your liking)
Luckily this is entirely possible and relatively easily achievable, have fun.
You are conflating your love for your echo chamber with me wanting a different echo chamber.
if a list of potential steps you might want to take to help you with the specific problem you are complaining about sounds to you like me professing love for echo chambers…i’m not really sure what to do with that.
I implied you might be looking for one, sure, but nothing i can see says i’m a fan of them.
I’ve been blocking US-news infestation in all subs for like a month now. I keep having 10% of my “All” tab filled with “trump bad” posts that have a 100/1 upvote ratio. I already blocked the guy who posted this vid. Before even commenting.
So is the issue that it’s “trump bad” or the ratio isn’t to your liking, both?
Either way, both are solved with the either blocking of users/communities/instances and/or starting your own (or find one that only federates with the kind of content you want).
I’m not being snarky , that’s literally how this kind of federated service is supposed to work.
This is the equivalent to rocking up to a restaurant that only serves seafood, then ordering a dish you don’t like (let’s say shrimp salad as an example) and then complaining that you had to pick out all of the shrimp from your salad and then also complaining that everyone else seems to be enjoying the food. (and there’s a steakhouse next door)
Yes, lemme block [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], actually, anything lemme just block @, cuz I don’t see any other way out of this.
It’s easier to whitelist 3 active communities than selectively block anything. Those would be a german meme community, a europe community, and a world-news community. Everywhere else top upvotes posts are “trump bad”.
That is how a federated service works, yes.
