1 month agoMastodon has very nice keyword based filter system.
For example, I have the filter “idiot did a thing”, and the keywords are a number of names of… popular people that news don’t get tired of talking about, even though the thing isn’t actually newsworthy.
So if I’m in the mood, I can check out what they did that day, and if I’m not in the mood, I’m aware that they did something again, but I don’t have to get angry over the specifics.
Same for other “ongoing” hot topics, that I already am informed about, where I don’t need the 24/7 doomscroll effect shoving negativity into my face.
No.
You know how boxers don’t beat up their trainers?
This is like that.
