Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

    Somehow get them to have a separate feed/account for each writer, as well as each section,

    and only subscribe to those subsections of their output YOU care about.

    I don’t expect ANY newspaper to have the working-brains to understand this concept.

    Enforcement/enshittification is the only religion which fits in the heads of “executives”, nowadays, right?

    Unfortunately, that’s the proper answer.
