Never give any of Elon Musk’s companies a dime or your time. Twitter is the worst one I think especially because Grok is now trained to repeat right-wing nonsense. I hope no one here is still on Twitter and I hope everyone you know in your personal life is also off that horrible website. If you know someone still using it tell them to switch to an alternative like Bluesky or Mastodon.


I tried researching this and wasn’t able to find an exact match for your question.
However I can say blocking hate websites and fake news websites helps stop Trump because it’s part of his pillars of support for power.
I think the best one I found so far is this which seems well maintained and current: https://github.com/sefinek/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection it has a hate category and a fake news category.
Then you can supplement the lists and block the main Trump and Musk websites by searching for Donald Trump for Trump’s websites and block the SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company websites.
The first one I found when searching for this was this blocklist which targets hate websites, propaganda websites and “alt-tech” websites (meaning things like far-right social media) but it’s a little old. It seems they used some kind of automated method to find subdomain names. I don’t know where they would have got this:
0.0.0.0 5iisjztgyz.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 5x0eggbvlm.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 6hwzzfs2iy.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
To be fair the domain name is a hate website, it’s just the subdomain part is of course useless here.
I haven’t closely reviewed the domain names on these lists but a quick glance of these lists makes me think it’s overall pretty accurate. If you encounter a website you cannot visit you can always unblock it and create an issue on Github.


Amazon funded Trump’s inauguration, they’ve doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don’t use Amazon often you’re paying more money than you’d spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don’t need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.
Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I’d highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you’re paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.


The 2025 version of will you shut up, man.


It’s not just because the car doesn’t know where you’re going. It’s an intentional lie that Elon Musk specifically ordered. From the article:
The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.
“Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,” the person said, adding: “When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”
Tesla’s intentional inflation of in-dash range-meter projections and the creation of its range-complaints diversion team have not been previously reported.


It will reduce demand for new Teslas. The people who sell their Teslas will buy a different brand and some people who still for whatever reason want to buy a Tesla will buy a used one instead of a new one.


I heard that Tesla lies about the range, it’s lower than they say.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.


If these instructions are risky for you of course don’t do it.


For sure, I’d much rather people join Lemmy. I just figured might as well do everything we can to reduce how many people link to fake news and tabloid type website even on platforms we don’t personally use/like. The less traffic those websites get the less ad revenue they get.


I did some research and now I know why Trump wants to “save” TikTok.
https://www.theinformation.com/articles/how-tiktok-courted-conservatives-before-trumps-win
https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/tiktok-and-white-supremacist-content/
This one is especially damning:
TikTok is spending $50,000 on an inauguration party honoring influencers who helped Donald Trump spread his campaign message, according to the party organizer — and it’s scheduled for Sunday, the deadline for the company to spin off from its China-based owner or be banned in the U.S.
CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend.

No wonder why Trump wants to “save” TikTok. It has the stuff Republicans crave.


That is awesome!!! That’s how it should be done!


Of course, I wish people would be here instead of Reddit. I just figure we might as well try. It doesn’t cost anything to copy and paste and press message the moderators. I doubt moderators would be considered problematic for doing this.


Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn’t profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch’s acquisition the “Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare”. Now it’s a conservative trash rag.
Please use another source if you can.


Protest quitting would require a large amount of people to do it at the same time. If only a few people quit it’s a net loss because then the percentage of bad people is higher.
You must have a “local” Sinclair-owned station I’m guessing.
If you were to block Fox you should also block other more extreme channels like Newsmax and OANN.
That’s smart! Take advantage of the fact that cable keeps getting more and more expensive and urge them to cancel it. No need to sneak and block Fox News this way.
I just found another one that might be interesting. This one seems somewhat actively maintained with the last commit two months ago:
