MODERATORS
We need some form of moderation but I think it’s going to be pretty unpleasant given that the fediverse is very appealing to the doomer mindset. I am also surprised at the amount of people that actually think that social media is technology
There are apps which offer user specific filters. I highly suggest switching to one. It's made my lemmy experience much better.
I use the browser exclusively for this stuff. My phone is opened maybe once an hour or so. Most often 3 times a day.
Beat me to it!!
I started to use RSS to subscribe to Lemmy topics to be able to run my own rules to filter content that I don't want to see. So using RSS helps a lot to not waste time on things you don't want to see.
