People using terminology referencing abuse on this website with no trigger warnings (which I thought was a bit of a safe place) hurts me so much. I feel stupid and weak for not being able to handle what others should be able to handle (and there is one person in particular that I am annoyed with, but I am not comfortable with revealing their name).
I feel less of a want to use this website because of the fear of pain and frustration I feel towards myself (and maybe towards the people that use such terms, but I am not sure how much of the blame should really be put on them).
You could block them (pretty sure this stops you from seeing their posts).
Or use keyword filters to hide triggering posts/comments.
How do I do that? :0
Depends if you’re using Lemmy through a browser or app. Browser apparently doesn’t have this feature yet, which I just learned because I only use app for Lemmy, but I found this: https://github.com/Zetaphor/lemmy-keyword-filter/ and if you’re using an app it can be found in settings and is under “Posts/Comments/Filters/Blocks” depending on what app you’re using.
There is an app? I never knew.
We’re both learning new things today. :)
