Since Elon Musk became Twitter’s CEO, he’s been pushing through a lot of changes to the social network. But perhaps…

      Or just scroll past things you don’t want to read about? That is a very viable option.

          There’s plenty of communities on Lemmy that don’t discuss Elon at all. Curate your own homefeed

            are there any communities that discuss technology advancements ? I can’t find any sub for technology enthusiasts.

              You and the other guy both sound like you’re whining that free content isn’t being catered to your every taste for you when you have every tool at your disposal to curate your own content.

              Y’all are entitled as shit.

                You might want to start paying more attention to what people say instead of focusing on how it makes you feel when you participate in an argument.

                  I thought about it.

          Unless every finger on your hand is broken, it’s always viable. And if every finger is broken, I’m pretty sure you’ve got bigger problems.

      I can do you one better with a Tampermonkey script that will replace every reference to his name on every webpage to either “the biggest twat on the planet” or “this dipshit”, depending on which works better syntactically.

      // ==UserScript==
      // @name         Text Replace
      // @version      0.1
      // @description  Text Replace
      // @author       SiameseDream
      // @include     *
      // @grant        none
      // @namespace beepboop
      // ==/UserScript==
      
      (function() {
          'use strict';
      
      var replaceArry = [
          [/ Elon Musk/gi,' the biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/Elon Musk/gi,'The biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/ Mr. Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/ Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/Mr. Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          [/Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          // etc.
      ];
      var numTerms    = replaceArry.length;
      var txtWalker   = document.createTreeWalker (
          document.body,
          NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
          {   acceptNode: function (node) {
                  //-- Skip whitespace-only nodes
                  if (node.nodeValue.trim() )
                      return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
      
                  return NodeFilter.FILTER_SKIP;
              }
          },
          false
      );
      var txtNode     = null;
      
      while (txtNode  = txtWalker.nextNode () ) {
          var oldTxt  = txtNode.nodeValue;
      
          for (var J  = 0;  J < numTerms;  J++) {
              oldTxt  = oldTxt.replace (replaceArry[J][0], replaceArry[J][1]);
          }
          txtNode.nodeValue = oldTxt;
      }
      })();
      
      

      In practice it looks like this

      Why didn’t you downvote this thread? In kbin I can see who downvoted it and you’re not there.

        Because the downvote button isn’t for what I personally don’t want to see, it’s for what isn’t relevant. As much as I don’t want to see this, it is technology

      Options that empower you:

        Downvoting is kind of unfair because it is technology based, ignore button just ignores that specific post, unsubscribe unsubscribes me from all technology posts which I don’t want
