I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

My non-algo feed on @Mastodon that is time-based and enhanced by boosts from people I follow is the most enjoyable method for consuming social posts and it improves my mental health versus how every other platform approaches it. I pretty much use Mastodon >90% of the time now.

It’s worth taking the time to slowly build your network and liberally mute, unfollow, and block who you don’t like. I’m on a single-person instance and I was able to do it.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://henshaw.social/users/jon/statuses/114404979333487006 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
