Not only would I like to not hear about any of the assholes or shitty crap going on for a week, id like to not talk about them either. Is it even possible?
Not for like censorship reasons but for more mental health and logic reasons. Do people’s moods improve? Is more interesting and funny content generated? Does the media/news algorthym absolutely shit itself?
Yes yes I’m sure you can filter out what you don’t want to see personally and what not blah blah blah, but I mean for us. All of us. Maybe we just need to ignore the fuccbois for a bit. Imagine a world without them
As you mentioned yourself: Filter it out + block users and communities you don’t like. It’s usually the same users posting anyway.
People will still want to talk about stuff that you don’t care to know or see, and as long as it’s within the rules of the instance there’s nothing really wrong with it IMO
Forcing all users to share your view of the fediverse for 168 hours would likely be a major cause of annoyance, and stretch our volunteer moderators out pretty thin…
