      Not that I know of but tbh, you should look at blocking the entity that brought this into lemmy/your life.
      You can block the user if he enters articles or info you want to dismiss. For me it’s entirely a valid thing to do as gaining control over who gets to enter your information space is your prerogative.

    Nate “oh they don’t know why they’re Protesting, it’s just trendy” Silver? The guy who hasn’t been right about the last like 2-3 elections? That Nate Silver?

    Forgive me if he doesn’t fool me into loaning him some VC money. The fucking Theranos of statistics.
