@MissingThePt I just got here and it seems like people are just talking about politics. Is there a way to filter out entire topics?

@gardner @MissingThePt Welcome. By “here” I assume you mean Mastodon? If so you have lots of power to filter in or out however you want. You are in complete control of what you see. If there are specific keywords you don’t want to see, add them or related hashtags to your filters. Second, follow people and hashtags that are talking about what you want to read. Lastly, I recommend following @feditips they have great information in their feed for those new to Mastodon.
