In my personal opinion, this site is completely unusable without heavy content filtering. Just being picky about which communities to follow and users to block isn't enough.

That said, I realize I might be in the minority on this, so I'm curious what others are doing to preserve their sanity.

I'm personally using adblocker to hide posts with the following keywords:

xitter, united, ceo, c.e.o., exec, brian thompson, health exec, luigi, uhc, rednote, pets sunday, trump, elon, musk, nazi, fascis, israel, idf, ice, iceblock, palestin, gaza, project 2025, deport, kirsti, deepseek, rfk, it's monday, it's tuesday, it's wednesday, it's thursday, it's friday, it's saturday, it's sunday, hobbies wednesday, music monday, billionair, republican, far right, far-right, maga, doge, LGBT, pronoun, trans, gulf, christian right, nancy mace, abortion, immigrat, gop, migrant, x, measles, pedo, transgender, queer, bondi, capitalis, sandy, cybertruck, tesla, tsla, protest, hegseth, windows, executive dysfunction, waltz, detain, pope, usaid, netanyahu, palantir, curfew, Kristi, week-end, microsoft, fucklapd, epstein, ghislaine, slop, altman, nexus, kirk, genocide, zohran, kimmel, mar-a-lago, linkedin, crypto, comey, Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, transpho, zionis, antifa, racis, Jake paul, us aid, guard, patrol, snap, amazon, google, openai, meta, ai, scraper, ads

    You're filtering out kirk and my first thought was, "what does he have against Star Trek?"

    Well, I do have Star Trek communities blocked too. That said, I don't block stuff because I have something against it per se - I'm usually just sick of seeing it flood my feed constantly.

    I even block topics I'm genuinely into, like AI, because I know the comment sections will be a total shitshow and I don't want to tempt myself.

    With all that blocking, is there even anything left on your feed at all afterward?

    waltz

    Should be 'walz' (I'm guessing you mean Governor Walz).
