Reminder for all folks on here, especially #NewHere, that if you're using #Mastodon as your #Fediverse home, you can easily:

👉 filter out stuff you don't like, or that makes you anxious or sad, from your timeline:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#filters

👉 mute specific threads, and block specific accounts or whole instances:

Other instance software and client apps might have similar affordances.

Today might be a good day to test these tools, as a form of self-care.
