   I can't do this again. How am I supposed to keep working as an artist, with my work being dependant on being public when I'm having a melt down every time I see a post about Israel, and incredible load of hate to my country while my family is literally being evacuated and my therapist cancelled our sessions because he was called back into the army to fight and terrorists are literally kidnapping children and murdering them INTENTIONALLY.
   I thought Mastodon was a safe space. I was wrong.

     @skaly I'm sorry to hear it.
     An idea: I use lists instead of the timelines. So I see only who I want to see, in a given list. Maybe make a Safe list , where you will see ppl you generally trust. Another one for trusted news sources, maybe.bm I have >12 lists. There are days I ignore local news. just check my Friends list & my list of other positive ppl. You can also make a list for a hqshtag, ex: #toronto, or #jewellery.
     (A good client helps: on android try @megalodon, it's good for lists.)

     @deborahh
     Yes, I have been wanting to do this, too.
     Excellent strategy.
     (Though I'm happy with my TL--brought me this post. 😀)
