Hi,

Quick question Re: sanitizing my home feed.

I have subscribed to some news related magazines from lemmy and kbin based forums.

I would like to sanitize my home feed of certain items when they're posted as posts... Like when someone posts an article from, say Fox "News", or E! (Entertainment Network) website, etc...

Is it doable?

Thanks

You mean constantly bumping the prices for lower quality content is causing subscription numbers to go down? No way... Who could have thought that? /s

Doubt re: blocking entire instances (aussie.zone)

Hi,

I was curious, after seeing quite a few spam posts originate from one particular instance, is there a way that I, as a user, can block instances, so that their users' posts don't appear on my feed completely?

Cheers

Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot by jmd_akbar in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago

Wait... Why would it be awkward for the employees who you want to re-hire? They would just simply ask a much higher pay... You need their expertise and their knowledge, you have to pay their demanded salary...

It should be more awkward for the companies...
