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 can block individual users
      • That will remove posts by them from your feed.
      • All future and historical posts by them will also be removed from your vision.
    • If you feel like a community as a whole is allowing behaviour you disagree with you can block that entire community
      • You also have the option of creating your own space with a similar theme, a space that you can police in exactly the way you prefer. ( for example “Video No Politics” )
    • In the possible case of disliking the content and/or moderation of an entire instance…you guessed it, you can block that also.
      • Creating your own instance is also a possibility, it can be a bit involved but is certainly possible.
      • Then you have all the control, you can invite your friends, success.

    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.

        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.

        That is how a federated service works, yes.

      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)
