I went on a media diet when I left Twitter, and stepping onto Bluesky reminds me how exhausting The Discourse can get - dunk of the week etc. Does anyone have tips for healthy Bluesky consumption? Is there an analog of Mastodon's ability to set keyword blocklists that hide posts behind a drawer?

"Muted words" seems to completely hide matching posts, so you don't even know they happened. I want the *option* to read and engage, just it to be opt in, so I can moderate myself and stop if I find myself doomscrolling.

I could just unfollow everyone who ever posts about a controversial topic, but that would obviously be self defeating.
