These days there is too much nerve-racking content on Beehaw, we should post less articles and more about the life of the people here! (beehaw.org)

All this « editorial » content is so unnerving with so much shit happening in the world. It does not feel like a safe place if you doomscroll every time you browse it…

Lol, I forgot how busy this instance can be because I blocked both of the news communities last year (and I think one or two others, but I can't remember which and don't care enough to look) and set up keyword filters in my app to never see posts with certain words or phrases in their title.

Thanks to that, the majority of my experience isn't particularly negative. Admittedly, there's a lot less content, but I don't really care all that much.

What app do you use? Jerboa doesn't allow keyword filtering AFAIK

Eternity (formerly Infinity) and Sync.

Both have options for filtering, thankfully.
