I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

    It’s not really that powerful, nor is it likely what billionaires are peddling to the politicians. Where would the billionaires go with lower taxes and yet the same secure standard of living? What’s to stop the politicians from raising taxes to 0.1% lower than these mythical low-tax countries with the stability and infrastructure to support their companies? That’s just the bullshit story that is fed to the public.

    In reality it’s just what Elon is doing, but historically has been done more privately. “Prop up my business with low taxes, lax regulations, and tasty government contracts or I’ll spend $100M supporting a primary opponent.” And the politicians say “Ok give my wife spouse a board position or something and we can deal.”

    You have three tools in your instance settings at https://lemmy.world/settings: the Show/Blur NSFW Content options in , and blocking users/communities/instances, setting your feed to only view Subscribed communities and just don’t subscribe to any NSFW ones. The first is dependent on posters ticking the box to mark their post as NSFW. If you see a NSFW post that is not marked as such, report it. Admins on their instance should address the matter. The second option isn’t NSFW-focused in any way but you’re in control of it. You could block instances that are primarily intended for NSFW content, such as lemmynsfw.com, and then block any individual communities on other instances, and lastly if there are specific users who just seem to refuse to stop posting unmarked NSFW content and their instance admins won’t do anything about them you block those users.

    You probably can’t expect to fully pre-emptively block all NSFW content, because someone might post something without marking it correctly. Could be by accident, could be they just don’t care. But reporting them gives a chance to fix it rather than blocking an otherwise safe community or user.
