Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Content filtering that works cross-platform and is able to remove the all the noise from social media. Dunks, insults, one liners, posturing, grandstanding, outrage and so on. People who demand to be heard but have nothing to say.
What you're looking for is called "touching grass". Go outside and interact with real people.
Not sure about you, but recently, a lot more of those online behaviors have started appearing IRL.
That means that people already did these things, but, like alcohol, the Internet lowers the inhibitions to not behave like that. It's a pretty short leap to say that, if you spend a lot of time online, these behaviors will become a large part of who you are on and off the Internet.
Does it mean that people can't relearn how not to act like that? No, but it's gonna be hard.
I don't really see how that justifies Orwellian censorship online.
My interpretation on what you've said is just that you don't want to be confronted with the realities of socializing with people who aren't willing to lie to you about their opinions. It used to be normalized that dishonesty and inauthenticity were "politeness" and making yourself palatable to others was productive. But, as we can plainly see world-wide, putting up with assholes just encourages them to be bigger assholes.
Perhaps rather than thinking the rest of the world is wrong for reacting to you in a way you dislike, you might consider whether there's a common denominator here. Rather than trying to control everyone else, you might want to think about what you can control that's a little closer to home.
