Followed a bunch of (mostly new) people.
Realized that the thing that stopped me from using the birdsite - constant negativity and drama and people dunking on each others tribes - was starting to happen here too and making the site less appealing to me.
Went ahead and unfollowed every single person that was making my feed unpleasant, whether by themselves or by boosts.
I’d rather have a feed that has no updates in an hour, than one that has fifty updates and half of them bad for my #mentalhealth.
@digital_carver all that's totally reasonable, IMO. Unfollowing costs no one anything and things can change. I've unfollowed accounts that boost posts in other languages just because I'm waiting for better translation support.
@drdrowland
Just as an aside, you know you can turn off boosts per followed account? Go to their profile page, click on the 3 dots, and you can turn off boosts coming from that account.
