I purged world news from my feeds years ago. I have no idea what's going and I love it.

Here's my filter list if you want it:

israel, iran, cybertruck, north korea, tesla, israeli, russia, belarus, palestine, palestinian, trump, biden, rogan, ukraine, china, politics, democrat, republican, america, usa, government, law, war, conflict, weapon, vance, biden, harris, election, kamala, dnc, rnc, conflict, tensions, elon, musk, greene, boebert, soldier, military, bomb, attack, conflict

There's really not much that slips by this list in tandem with my community block list. Life on the internet is much more peaceful now.

I did the same and would absolutely recommend this.

Don't look for news on social media (best to not be on social media if that's possible). Get news and content via RSS and get an app that allows you to blacklist keywords.

Got any suggestions on how to set that up? I've known about RSS for a long time, I just never really understood it, I guess.

What device are you going to use it on? I'll presume Android is most likely.

Best app for FOSS in my opinion is Read You (on f-droid), but this doesnt allow blacklisting words.

Best for easy setup + setting up filters is Pluma (free on Play store). Once you're in it, you press + to add content and can search for whatever you want.

Most sites support RSS and if you candidate find it from within the app then you can go get the RSS link from the webpage.... But if you're just getting into it then try what I've suggested above first and take it from there.

Android for sure. Thanks for the info.
