• Masto offers auto-deletion of old posts. If you’re worried about people piling on and dragging you for something you said 17 years ago, this may help.
• Masto offers auto-expiring filters. Some people talk about Sporting Event or Politics Event a lot for a day? Mute the people and/or keywords for a while!
• Be liberal in muting and blocking.
• Timeline too big but don’t want to unfollow? Make a list, add the most important people, and make that your new timeline!
• Can’t deal with a post right now, but want to, later? Bookmark it. A bookmark is like a favorite but doesn’t notify the poster. You can go to your profile and see all your bookmarks.
