thread on how to not let fandoms ruin your experience: https://twitter.com/blinked4pinks/status/1289259758285807621">https://twitter.com/blinked4p...
UTILIZE MUTING AND BLOCKING!

see a toxic account? dont engage. block and move on and just stop talking about them (ex: sasaeng fansites, translation accounts like b*ra, w*sha)

a topic is tiring to see? mute all words associated with it
ITS OKAY TO SOFTBLOCK

twitter is supposed to be for YOUR experience. if an oomf is constantly saying things you dont agree with and isn’t open to dialogue about it just unfollow! you don’t owe them anything unless you had a prior relationship . do what’s best for your head space
MAKE FRIENDS IN GROUPCHATS

whenever i have an issue with a fandom im in i discuss is privately amongst fellow stans in group chats, not on the tl! this way the tl doesnt become a negative space for others, and it keeps my own profile positive to look through (1/2)
Privately venting your frustrations will be therapeutic and comforting. Not only are you not engaging with other accounts that may hurt you, a gc allows for more nuanced discussions to take place unlike a twitter threads that arent built for civilized discourse (2/2)
TAKE BREAKS

Limit your daily usage of twitter/instagram/facebook/reddit. Set a time limit in your settings so you cant open your apps after that limit is exceeded. In the mean time stream your fav’s songs while doing something else!
HAVE MULTIPLE HOBBIES

Go on walks, play video games, play an instrument, watch youtube, read a new book, learn how to draw, watch that new netflix show. Expand your interests! Spreading out what fandoms you’re in allows you to hop around when a certain one is annoying you
SET LOW EXPECTATIONS

Leaving a fandom because it’s toxic just to be in another fandom that’s also toxic is just asking for an unhappy stanning experience. There are toxic people in every fandom because guess what? Toxic people just exist! Understand that you cant control others
REMEMBER YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF WHAT YOU CONSUME

If you are always engaging with toxicity check a) who you’re following and b) check YOURSELF

unfollow people that keep bringing toxicity on your timeline BUT also watch your own language

dont say it online if you wouldnt irl!
im sure there are other tips out there that may help too! if you’ve read this far feel free to add your own coping methods with interfanom toxicity! let’s make stanning a fun space! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⭐️" title="Mittelgroßer Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Mittelgroßer Stern">
