i don't want to have fascists' words reproduced in front of me unasked

i don't want to be Informed about the same development 400 times

i don't want to drown in endless dunks

i don't want to look at my phone and come away in a bad mood every single time

stop. stop

@eevee i'm right there with you. but i'm also very guilty of this myself. it's hard not to get sucked in. trying to balance keeping in touch with twitter people but also letting that stuff go. maybe i should just make a second account and keep those two things separated 🤷🏽

@eevee actually maybe hiding boosts will help 🤔 does that work for the mobile clients?

@sparky_005 i think so (though it doesn't remove them from your existing timeline), and i am doing it fairly aggressively, but it sucks when someone boosts a lot of nice fluffy stuff and then also......not

@eevee yeah it's very much imperfect. i've been adding a lot of mute filters as well but that's also pretty imperfect. i often want to know about something *once* but don't need to repeatedly see it over and over again as people keep posting it or keep talking about it, and obviously the filters don't really work for that use case

@eevee oh and one more thing: i'm optimistic that this is, at least to a degree, only temporary, and that it will die down quite a bit in a little while. i am maybe naive to think that... but i still do!

@eevee @sparky_005 personally, I'm about to remove someone from my follows for that reason: I don't disagree with what he's posting, but I don't come on this account to hear people appropriating rage over terms that are part of my own culture, or whatever liberal outrage is happening in the moment. I come on this account to unwind by going full GoblinMode.
