Muting words was so good for my mental health.

Thank you for this information! I had no idea that was possible! I need to de-US-politics-ify my feed.

It makes such a difference!

Thank you for posting this as I wasn't aware you could mute words (thot it was only individuals)...

For those wanting to know:
settings then moderation and finally Mute words

I love that you can choose to mute all instances or just ones from accounts you don't follow.

Can you tell me some examples of what words you've muted? It's ok if you don't want to...

I don't mind at all. I think the mute function is case-sensitive, so I muted both "Democrats" and "democrats", and: nazi, nazis, fascist, fascists, Musk, Elon, Trump, DOGE, Doge, and Hanomansing (because of CBC drama), among others, but those are doing the most work.

I’m finding I need to mute at least one new word every day just to not have a timeline flooded with doom at every moment.

It's worth the work though. My mental health was *tanking*.

One hundred per cent.

My moderated word list is.....robust.

News is easy to find, frivolity and curated posts about my hobbies is what I'm looking for on here.

I muted "CBC" for 7 days.

I get why its a dumb thing but I'm seeing the same person's posts being reposted constantly and that's like all my feed.

It's too much. I think people are pouring their anxiety into something less scary attached to the truly frightening thing as a kind of comfort.

nomaddadmatt.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree
