I also decided to (nicely) nail every one of my online friends who shared disinformation, even if it was disinformation that made me feel good. I largely got a positive response to that, which was a relief. I just can't stand it when people say, "that's so WRONG" of the other side.... then do it themselves.
Thanks, Karin. Solid advice, most of which goes along with what I did (or at least tried to do). But I actually performed one of your pieces of advice proactively: I just couldn't stand those toxic people that I agreed with and so I unfollowed them all, way before the election. It was and continues to be such a relief not to have their hysteria in my feeds.

Hi Suki! That’s a very wise strategy. We could all benefit from being more proactive.
This is great advice!
