The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else.

I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?

I have a filter on, I block the words "Elon", "Kamala" and "Trump". Furthermore I block politics community. It's not like they are about anything else than US politics anyway.

Legitimate question, did you temporarily disable it, or did it just not manage to block this post because those words aren't in the title?

I think they blocked in all and this community is subbed?
