Several news reports are doing the rounds about absolutely horrific content and cruelty. Damn it, use CWs for such traumatic content, even if it's in the newspaper! Be considerate! I will now unfollow anyone who posts/boosts this kind of stuff on my timeline, blocking the worst ones if necessary. Unfortunately, I still have to see it first. 🤬 🤮
I've posted it before in the past but I'll post it again:
The single best thing I ever did with my #email account(s) was to set up a #filter for #MailingLists or #Subscriptions and have it skip the inbox and apply a label to it.
It catches 99% of things and makes me very happy to not have them in my inbox or notifications.
You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.
I've already had to block a few accounts for this.
Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.
But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."
I think #filtering them could deny them the satisfaction of distracting you. More experienced #Mastodon users might could help. I don’t use #filters because I enjoy trolling them back. #Filter
