I encourage people to heavily curate their online feeds. News should be available when you need it, but you also need to be able to spend leisure time relaxing and not being bombarded by bad news. Make lists of such accounts so that you can actively choose what you see when you need downtime. - ThreadSky

Hell yeah. Love being able to look at social media and kinda set the tone of it to match what I have the mental spoons for. <3

Tama-exclusive feed is a JOY.

My Bluesky is entirely dedicated to my interests, I hardly see any news articles on here, if I do I have to really dig to find them

mrscifiguy.bsky.social•72 days ago

That is why my Instagram is almost exclusively Owls

I’ve been very particular on who I follow, what words I mute and what community feeds I have pinned to my app. Other social media apps became places for me to panic rather than escape. I’m not making the same mistake here.

how do you make bluesky not suck
i followed the deltarune tag and i got noelle porn instantly

You can start blocking, basically. The algo doesn't seem to be perfect but it'll generally pick up on what you like.

I instantly block any remotely pornographic content regardless if it's fanart or real. And it shows up less and less as I go.

From personal experience, I would recommend to follow accounts you like/who doesn't seem to post nsfw instead of the tag, if it's possible. There's also this option in your account settings where you can hide nsfw content, of course it depends if the poster properly labels it unfortunately 😞

that was on automatically when i made my account yesterday and it was too sensitive so i just turned it off

You don’t need that much news right now. Read it with the morning coffee like a boomer.
Or just assume if it’s bad it’s happening if it’s good it fake

If someone, even someone you like is posting too much about some stuff you arnt trying to hear (even if it’s to make fun of it)

Mute it

multiple feeds is great for this for sure. the mutuals feed doesnt seem to entirely work right but just being a feed without reposts on it is nice

Only way to survive the next four years

Having all leisure time also be the time when you receive constant bad news isn't conducive to actually being able to recover enough from normal day to day stress in order to deal with anything.

Absolutely this. Having solace where you can find joy rather than spiral into despair at the state of the world is essential in maintaining a happy life. It is very hard to be a positive influence on the world if you can barely cope & scrape by. I fully subscribe to this in my day to day life.

I have been doing this for years and it has improved my online experience so much. I’ve got 2 simple rules, don’t engage with trolls and anything dumb that comes across my timeline gets the account muted so I’ll never see your nonsense again. It’s worked beautifully.
