Edit: some of you need to step outside and smell some fresh air, I promise it wont bite
Edit to the edit: this goes doubly for the people private messaging me their manifesto
I'm surprised there are any posts left with those filters.
You misspelled "Israel", fyi
You're trying to avoid politics by filtering keywords, yet your own thread title contains the word "politics". Curious.

I can probably think of more later..
Do you browse All frequently? When I browse my subscribed comms I don't see that much politics stuff. (I have a separate account for that, when I'm feeling more resilient than usual.)

If you don't want politics involved, just add the name of every country.
Also "migrant," (gets rid of immigrant too) "refuge," (gets rid of refugee) "asylum," "vaccine," "climate change," and "global warming."
Also with "Israel" and "Zionism" in your list, add "bomb," "missile," "dea" (for dead and death).

I wonder if @pugjesus@piefed.social knows any I might have missed?
OP made a post trying to figure out how to make his town less lame but also wants to avoid all "politics"... 😮💨
What if I told you that everything is "politics", be it buying groceries, entertainment, wearing clothes, healthcare, getting around town, having sex, owning a home or getting paid?

This is a good idea, y'all acting like OP literally doesn't listen to news, they said they just don't want to get their news on lemmy.
And I agree, you guys are being dramatic AF

Lmao, what did you expect would happen? Obvious troll is obvious.
Here's something I do. I block specific communities, and some people for the extreme amount of rage baiting political bullshit.
My list was getting pretty long tell I started doing that.
Also I block specific websites so they don't show up like CNN. Keywords are a good start but on Voyager I have actively just blocked (or is it muted?) people/instances/communities that are rage baiting political shit.
Always remember though, it's a privilege to not be able to interact with politics. I do on my own terms for my own mental health. But avoiding it not good as politics is literally anything that humans do. I just refuse to let the toxic 24/7 news bullshit get to me. As I'm one of people they actively target for "existing".
Also I blocked YouTube website because its constantly just people uploading there videos to get more views.
You can add plenty more, if you want no politics you need to evenly cover both political aisles because stuff will creep in that you didn't want anyway.

I also have elon, musk and ICE.
I'm having sooo little political content without any setup on my end, probably thanks to how my instance is configured
Ignore the words. Use your time to go outside and grab a bunch of strangers to play softball or frisbee or something. That is the biggest thing that'll fuck up all the young fascist "tech bros".
Why drone?
Oh.. oh right of course...
Don’t forget a lot of media is “political”.
Mute “Star Wars”, “X-Men”, “Mark Ruffalo”, “Miles Morales”, Wolfenstein, Star Trek, Warhammer, Helldivers…
Add "Trek", Star Trek is very political.
And "Linux" and "Open Source", free software is communist.
You don't want to read about genocide? You must love genocide then!?
If you need time away from these topics for mental health, then this is can be a good idea. I wish you all the best.
If you have other, quality news sources that's fine too.
If it's just because it's "annoying" and you do not want to engage, then bear in mind that you are simply burying your head in the sand. Politics are not simply words, and will affect you and your loved one's lives and rights.
The leopards come for everyone's faces eventually.

But now you'll miss all the news about Feline Panleukopenia Virus! What if it's cured?
must be nice being able to afford to not care about these things
No such thing as anything "politics free". Also trying to make any consumption "politics free" is damming to what kind of person you are and not in a good way.
