blocking political words works wonders for me too



Yes I considered posting my political term block list but didn't want this threat to devolve into a flame war. I cringe wondering what my timeline would be like without those muted words.


Yeah also most of the social issues too. Too much of outrage on Twitter. Leave the slacktivism to Facebook...


Simply blocking “Trump” made a massive difference for me. My accounts are all specialized and have nothing to do with politics, and yet no matter who I follow my feeds turn into at least 50% Trump stuff.

But I still spend way too much time saying “see less often” to things. Hopefully this mute list works well!
