I'm surprised there are any posts left with those filters.

You misspelled "Israel", fyi
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?
I sympathize with OP tbh. While babies being murdered is bad, I want SOME TIME in my life where I don't have to think about that for the sake of my own survival.
Politics affects more or less everything, but that doesn't mean it is those things. If you're not able to examine the list OP posted and see what proper subset of "everything" they're trying to filter out, you need to think harder.
You're trying to avoid politics by filtering keywords, yet your own thread title contains the word "politics". Curious.
I don't condone it but I might as well help as a mental exercise.

Why don't you condone it? And good list thank you
Ignorance causes many of the problems on this list in the first place, imo.
Fair. I get my news from different sources though, that's just not what I signed up to lemmy for
Curating one's feeds does not inherently lead to ignorance.
I've been aggressively filtering my newsfeed for years now and I didn't suddenly forget about all the corruption and injustice. I just have no need for those headlines to overwhelmingly dominate my day-to-day ingestion of news. "Corrupt Oligarch Continues Campaign Against Human Rights" isn't news to me; it's the status quo. I don't need a dozen headlines to remind me the sky is blue every day.
Add "linux" and enjoy the empty feed

I can use regexes, so it makes it a bit shorter list:

Add "Trek", Star Trek is very political.
And "Linux" and "Open Source", free software is communist.
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.
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).
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
