@DashEquals This is just my lukewarm take, but I find it's helpful to take regular vacations from most social media from time to time.
I can also recommend liberal use of the mute button for people get heavy-handed with their own opinion.
Another useful tactic I find, is to set up an alt account on a less politically orientated instance.
Unlike most other social media, the #Fediverse doesn't hold your hand or wrap you in cotton wool, so we need to be responsible for our own mental well being.
