    It’s hilarious that you’re downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I’m in the Midwest and there’s the whole “Midwestern sensibility” stereotype, but I don’t think anyone here is different from anywhere else.

    Most people who do this either don’t think about the fact they’re blocking the whole aisle or they don’t realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know








  • I don’t have an answer to your actual question other than self-hosting. But, I doubt you’d ever get a “firehose of trash” on your main feed. Mainly because the trashy instances aren’t that populous, so I doubt their posts would be active or hot enough to float to the top. But I could be wrong.

    You could always go directly to the instance you want to read and lurk. Unless you make an account you won’t be able to comment, but you’ll be able to get your firehose of trash

    Edit: Just be mindful of how much you consume, you’d be surprised how easily hate can invade your mind. To this day I still have to self-censor every now and then thanks to the hateful rhetoric I grew up around, even though I’m long past it
