I am implementing my zero-tolerance policy on my social media. If I come across an unhelpful or hurtful comment, I report it to the moderators and block the user. I prioritize maintaining a safe environment for myself. Being vulnerable does not imply that I am open to being mistreated or taken advantage of.

    If you’re on xitter, most users are toxic and toxicity is incentivised because engagement is money.

    If prioritising your mental health, taking a break from ones like X and Facebook help.

    Blocking negative content and hope it becomes wholesome can be exhausting and fruitless as it will reccomend it, regardless.

    I personally found regularly scrubbing contacts that are not meaningful until you can take breaks more and more helps. Eventually, I refused to allow it my time or to cost my mental health so no longer use it. For me, the cost was greater than the benefit.
