Anyone know how to filter my online experience? (lemmy.world)

The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else.

I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?

Hi, if you're on Android I can recommend Blokada5. Get the 5.21.0 version from a mirror because newer versions (the only ones you find on the play store) will only give you one month and then force you to upgrade your account.

As an ad blocker it works for your entire phone, not just Firefox. I don't have any adblockers for my browsers.
