I'm temporarily taking a break from political activism, and it is tiring seeing everything right now. I have been politically active for 5 years now, and I desperately need a break. Voyager for Lemmy, at least for me, pushes political content like crazy.

I'm specifically using Voyager on iOS and MacOS (and in Windows via BlueStacks) because I do exactly this. I block several whole instances (lemmygrad and hexbear), the active politics communities, and also specific keywords (elon, musk, trump, gop, republican, etc.), so I'm even able to browse All without my eyeballs being seared.

Not a whole lot, but it's better than just my subbed feed. (Mostly niche interests far from any sort of critical mass.)

yes, the actual good stuff that i'd enjoy. Everyone's not terminally online, and I've got things to do.
