I'm going to self promo a little and say that my attempt to develop an extension switching the ai nonsense out with "cocaine" has done wonders for managing the online doom
only problem is it's still going through chrome/mozilla review but the source code is very downloadable

I remember those conversations. I remember pointing out that these laws inevitably tend to expand. This is what's happening with the Online Safety Act in the UK.
As said in a Tumblr post making the rounds a few days ago, I hate being right. I'm not even paid for it.

Generally it seems like here people follow people and not topics. I know on YouTube it's the other way round, put too many different videos on the same profile and the algorithm punishes you. Luckily here there is no algorithm to do that.
I do fairly often see alternative accounts spun up for public/private or sfw/nsfw. Or accounts for different instances (for the different communities I guess?).
So I think for your use-case keeping the gamedev stuff in the same account might help? You can perhaps use hashtags for filtering to make it easier to find the educational stuff among the shitposts. Or I've seen users make long threads for this reason (e.g. Jonny's Claude Code roast)

However in the process of the jobhunt I keep finding new and exciting bugs in clunky job application form software and think "if only there was someone willing and able to fix this in return for a modest wage! oh well, back to filling out these janky application forms i guess".
Therefore I think there is real work to be done in fixing software jank. But making the user experience slightly better (and for the unemployed, no less!) doesn't bring in the kind of big bucks new products supposedly do. as a result we get existing software becoming jankier and weird tech trends. and sometimes the latter causes the former!

You can enable a lot of evil by capturing and controlling information.
In many cases, the informational evil precedes and facilitates the actual harms. See: JK Rowling's TERF campaign and how genocides tend to work (you can't just kill a bunch of people out of the blue you have to get ordinary people to hate or at the very least not care for them first)
