While the election may be over, reactions and discussions on politics may still be taking over your social media feed. That sometimes can be a little overwhelming and intense, especially if you’re just looking for an escape. It’s OK to need a break.
Even on a regular day outside election season, you may want to clean up your virtual world.
Here are some quick and easy ways to effectively make your Facebook, X and Instagram feeds less chaotic, and hopefully a bit more sustainable for your mental health.
Stressing over the election? Try these apps and tools to calm your nerves
Instead of unfollowing people permanently and dealing with the possible drama that might come with that, you can just take a break from seeing their content temporarily. Then, when you’re ready, it’s also easy to add it back into your feed.
On Instagram:
On X (formerly known as Twitter):
Facebook now offers a 30-day snooze option right in your newsfeed. So if you’re tiring of a certain account, you can take a temporary break.
All social networks have the option to block or completely unfollow someone. Here’s how:
But, know that blocking means different things on different platforms. For some, it means the blocked person can't see any content you post or engage with you. But for others, like X, while a blocked person cannot engage with your content, they can still see what you post.
In addition to following the news and your friends and family, make sure that you have some accounts in your feeds that are just for pure joy. Maybe it’s an influencer, a baking lizard, a fascinating lobster fisherman or a subreddit dedicated to corgis. Mixing this content into your feed can help remind you to breathe (and even smile) when you otherwise may be caught in a doom scroll.
