As social media isn’t going anywhere, the user needs to bear the responsibility of controlling their own feed. For example, you could subscribe to !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world and follow #bloomscrolling on Pixelfed. The internet just loves to give you anything and everything, so it’s up to you to pick and choose.
