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?

Thanks, I’ll look into what the Firefox extension community has. For now I figure I’ll go down to the pub, have a pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

You can also use uBlock origin for that. You just need to make custom filter, and use GPT to figure out exactly what kind of code to write in that box. Different sites call their headlines with different names, so it may require some tweaking.
