    Lemmy allows you to block comms and users pretty easily.

    I have over 200 blocked. Not in an “I hate you” way, more in a “This doesn’t interest me” way.

    Best solution is to read books instead of social media.

    No. If you dont like memes and US politics… good! You simply get on social media, only follow people you know in real life, and then only use it on desktop where there are browser extensions to block “suggested” content or ads.

    Get on each platform maybe once per day max. If you see something new that a friend has posted, leave a comment to tell them how great they are. Once per week or so, make your own post about neat things you are doing. Then, go outside.

    As others have said, the best way to do this is to use a platform that has good block list features (most Fediverse platforms qualify), and then curate your block list. You can block users, communities, and instances you don’t wish to see here on Lemmy. Mastodon might be for you, because you can also block keywords (Mastodon and Lemmy will happily talk to each other, so you can subscribe to Lemmy communities from a normal Mastodon account and post simply by mentioning the community, or comment by replying to an existing post).

    Not in english.

    However I was banned from c/politics for providing publicly available images of Nick Fuentes’ house to a thread on it.

    You could try to get yourself banned from all the annoying communities if you’re unwilling to subscribe to commuties you like and unsub ones you dislike.
