Is There a Way to Block All Trump Related Threads Going Forward?

Please Muriel make this possible. I still want to come to the DL. I just don't want to see that name.

There's no bulk blocking mechanism You have to do the one by one. I find that desktop is more effective than mobile.

Find yourself a cozy cave, OP.

by Anonymousreply 2November 7, 2024 7:49 PM

No, you don't. I have 150+ threads blocked and it's fine.

by Anonymousreply 3November 7, 2024 7:51 PM

Just block the posters that mention him. There's your solution.

Doesn't work with the sock puppets we have. Blocking posts is a better option if your upset is topic-based. You may ve able to cartch some of them, but you'll never catch all of them.

Maybe email Muriel and ask her to re-bifurcate the website.

I mean, it's to be expected just after the election...all these threads. I think once he takes office, I'll certainly block threads.

He's your president, OP.

Your fellow Americans elected him. Deal with it

Op, you must be new to datalounge.

There's a special place in hell for the chaos agents trying to upset and frighten people right now. Blocking is the only thing that works.

I dont put people on ignore/block, not even teacake, but I do ignore threads at times. Just do that, OP.

by Anonymousreply 12November 7, 2024 8:36 PM

I just block each individual thread

I think most DataLoungers have no other outlet to express their political opinions and concerns. DL started out Gay Gossip and Pointless Bitchery, but has devolved into general commentary. Like how Miss Manners started out about etiquette advice, but that niche has morphed into "life advice".

I put threads on block for a long time, but I realized the long-term bad actors around here make it easy to spot them, and it's been peaceful blocking individuals. I won't say how I know it's working, but it's more peaceful. It does require constant nipping in the bud, though.

I don't mind most of the bitchery here, but I do mind when it crosses the line to abuse and endless obsessions.

My power to block posts/posters permanently maxed out, so now I just play a game of skimming every thread title and tap button for "blocking" as soon as I come to the words trump, Biden, Harris, election etc. Its not much but it helps.

I am feeling very fragile right now!!

I have never herd of anyone 'maxing out". Verificatia?

What’s Muriel’s address or how do I find it? I’ve looked around when people have mentioned it and never found it. I’m reading on my phone.

Note: I won’t use it for a thing like this. I’d just like to know.

R14 actually back in the 90s it had many different sections and then there was a period when just gossip and politics were separated.

R21 proof that as time goes on, everything enshitifies.
