		alistairSH 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Avoiding outrage fatigue while staying informed That didn’t work for me, at least with FB and Insta. I unfollowed/unfriended anybody who kept posting political stuff. I did the same for anybody I didn’t interact with in real-life regularly. That basically left my parents, and about 5 friends. None of whom post anything regularly. So, now my feed is just random shitposts and memes from “influencers”. So, I deactivated my Meta accounts. And I’m still alive. And probably saner.

Yeah, I you should see the curation totally from the top, so fully dropping certain platforms is part of the curation. I mean, in essence we all already do that as certain platforms are not even considered a candidate in our 'portfolio'.
