You can:

* Use filters liberally to remove posts that annoys you
* Mute or block other people or bots who get boosted into your timeline if you don't want to see them again
* Try to remember to not click on CW's for stuff that will leave you feeling worse
* Unfollow

And you never have to explain why

You can do so for reasons that are entirely "selfish" or "petty"

E.g. "Their jokes were crass so I muted them"

Make the Fediverse a place that's good for you

I think my favourite unnecessary apostrophe use is:

"Thank's!"

If you don't make a prediction beforehand, you don't get to say "I knew that was going to happen" after the fact ;)

Me, singing softly at Jeff Bezos' bedside, when it is Already Too Late To Stop Me:

🎶 When I've burned up all your money
It will be funny
It's a rich man's world
(Doot doot doot doo-doo)
(Doot doot doot doo-doo)
It's a rich man's world 🎶

As a child, Alsaleh worked at a polling station in Syria preparing election cards.

"It asked a question: 'Do you want Mr. Assad to be the president?' My job was to mark yes, so when Syrians come to vote … it's already marked yes," he said. "That's Syrian democracy."

"For the first time, I see a ballot with choices and I get to vote secretly and then cast my own vote into the ballot — it's amazing."
