Also don't be afraid to use filters to block keywords if you need a break from certain topics. It's amazing how calm and actually interesting the feed is if you block all mentions of Twitter and Threads and US politics

Wow, you and the commenter above really sold me on it. That's the way the internet was meant to be used. You go and search for shit. Not shit getting fed to you because "it totally matches up with other things you like". I've hated these algorithms for so long. And for me personally completely misses the mark on what actually excites me. Instead it intentionally shows me bullshit that I will scroll through for hours or plaster my face in front of the second I have exactly 30 seconds of free time in my day. It's fucking junk food.
