FreshRSS needs better filters. I wish I could just say “If [title] contains ‘PREMIUM’ then delete”.

Nope I don’t have that checked. I also marked all as read and ran a purge manually and it did not delete them.

Thanks for the responses I may just totally wipe then reinstall with my preferred settings and see if it takes this time.

I had not noticed that option! Thank you so much. It did not solve the problem in my original post but it’s still very helpful.

That would be unfortunate if true. Honestly, if I could I would do away with the “read/unread” concept altogether. Are there really people out there who want to read absolutely everything in their feeds?

In the settings menu I have set the “maximum number of articles to keep” at 25, and yet my feeds have more than 25 articles in them.

This is super helpful, I wonder if Calibre-Web uploads can be handled this way too.

Friendly reminder that the goal behind posting memes like this is to instill a sense of cynicism and discourage political participation from people who hold progressive values. A key indicator here is the use of the nefarious-but-nebulous “they” which is commonly used in antisemitic-coded “globalist” or “cabal” conspiracy theories.

Democracy in America is unequal and unfair but the “deep state” the way conspiracy theorist portray it is simply not real.

We agree that spending one’s time typing internet comments is less effective than voting.

Reddit Lemmy users love their internet slacktivism. These mfers will type out a 10,000 word comment on a five year old post before they will vote.

This comment is arguing against points I did not make, and continuing to blame the antifascist coalition for the rise of fascism.

I wonder, what was the Democratic party wearing when they lost the election?

Twisting of words and arguing against a point someone didn’t make is a common alt-right “debate” strategy. Readers please note that I did not say that members of the Democratic party are above criticism. The person I am replying to continues to blame antifascists for the rise of fascism.

“The Democrats are fascists” is exactly the narrative MAGA espouses. When someone ostensibly anti-MAGA attacks the largest coalition of anti-MAGA forces, that person is pro-MAGA.

That’s the narrative they espouse, but if you think about it for more than a second, no rational antifascist would attack another antifascist when there are fascists around. It’s all about trying to divide a meaningful antifascist coalition.

The vast majority of internet ““leftists”” are MAGA trolls trying to divide.

• Trump was a bigot, which is what a majority of Americans wanted.

Weird how so many of you demonize the largest most powerful organization of antifascists in America instead of those who voted to give Trump power. It’s almost like you are trying to sow division in the anti-trump electorate 🤔

Hey everyone, when you see comments like this from a ““Leftist”” who only ever criticizes “The Dems” for right-wing victories, and never puts the responsibility on the actual, y’know, Trump supporters, that user is a MAGA supporter trying to divide the left and prevent the formulation of a broad antifascist coalition capable of changing the course the GOP has set.

These “non voters” did not actually sit out the election, they are trying to convince you to sit out the next one (or vote third party etc etc). Don’t fall for it! We are in this together.

I think a lot of left-oriented people are in denial that Trump made no secret of who he was the past eight years, and Americans got exactly what a majority of them legitimately wanted. Trump voters know he is a bigot and that is why they chose him. There is no degree of populist social welfare rhetoric Kamala or the Democrats could have said that would have moved the needle when for most voters, electing a bigot was the priority over all other issues.

I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to “backup” the things you especially like in high quality.

Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.
