I pressed a button on Twitter to not show me anything from musk. Now it’s a muskless twitter. Meanwhile I’ve heard that alternatives like mastodon have half the user base taking about musk. That’s much harder to block.

And of course nobody on Twitter is talking about Musk.

Indeed, a few more button presses are needed to type "musk" and "Elon" in the mute words setting. Most users don't use or know about this function.

It's an optional thing to disengage from the hype but but not really obvious for normal users.

you can apply filter on Mastodon, not only on tags but on words themselves. simply filter "Musk" to have a Musk-free Mastodon experience.
