It''s hard to find interesting people who don't live their lives for US politics, Twitter, or whatever 24/7/365. The signal to noise ratio here is really overwhelming; and, if I'm honest, it's super triggering.

All this shit is why I left twitter, etc.

Without a means of successfully filtering-out the onslaught, just scrolling through timelines to check out people's stuff is hellish.

It's hard to find a fresh start.

Does blocking a hashtag only work in the home timeline, or does it also apply to local and federated timelines, too?

I'm just trying not to be triggered by the deluge of US politics.

:verified: doesn't mean shit here, btw.

Let it go.

Imagine being in a new relationship and all the other person does is talk about their ex.

That's what it's like to see all these damn posts from Twitter migrants.
