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 Iβm 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 βElonβ, βKamalaβ and βTrumpβ. Furthermore I block politics community. Itβs 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 arenβt in the title?
I have filters for Trump and Elon and others myself. It seems to be only for the post title because I can still see posts like this. Which Iβm okay with by the way. I just donβt need all the additional articles specifically featuring them.
