Dude needs to learn about blocklists if that's what his feed looks like. There definitely is a cesspool but it's pretty isolated.
There are exceptions of course but IMHO, you shouldn't block toxic contents, you call them out instead. Doing so basically puts a red flag to any would-be readers that this person and the associated content is harmful and dangerous.
In public sure, but this is the internet, where the Streisand effect is the unifying order of the week. It's why the age old saying "bad press is better than no press" exists
