   I’m feeling like migrating to a new instance. I need to get away from some pretty toxic political content some have been pushing really hard lately. I’m a bit more interested in creative content and interaction.
   I follow hashtags but my feed is just flooded with stuff I need away from.
   What is not only a “good” instance but “great” instance for authors and writers? Fair warning, I may just decide that self hosting is the way to go.

     Why not just curate your follows? Your feed is what you make it.

     If you are Jewish, or have Jewish friends, then I think you should consider this blog post from mastodon.art, which contains multiple antisemitic tropes and declarations:

     By curate I mean:
     Mute the toxic posters.
     Or put them in a list and mark it to keep members out of your feed. Then when you feel like it, browse that list. If you find one that is not so bad after all, remove from list. Or put in another list of " not so bads". That is better than blocking or muting, because it is readily undone by you if you choose.
     Another approach is make a few categorize lists of ones you really like. Then spend most of your time reading there.
