@Fragglemuppet The "Filters" feature - to hide posts with common keywords where negative, sensationalist, poorly-argued spew is virtually always wrapped around said keywords - is underrated.

I see far less of this sort of negativity you speak of this way. All of a sudden, Mastodon is much more of what I was wanting to see. 👍

If only for the sake of protecting our emotional well-being from being aggressively "janked" by this jarring, unwelcome, unproductive spam, "Filters" is indispensable.
