A reminder that on Mastodon you are the algorithm. If you’re seeing content you don’t want, block or filter it out. Boost things you want more of. You control what you see. It’s better than trying to control others. Focus on curating the kind of feed you’re interested in.

If you don’t want to see politics, unfollow people who post or boost a lot about politics.

The #birdsite is very passive in terms of what it demands from you. Mastodon isn’t. It’s a mind shift but it’s a good one to make.

@VickiKyriakakis These are all important and valuable tools, no question. I do hope that people decide not to live in a nice filter bubble where the content they are seeing is always pleasant and agreeable though. We don’t grow or challenge ourselves and our beliefs this way. I do think that is important from time to time. Stay curious!
