The main Fediverse platforms offer various protection tools: Mute and Block. For example, on Mastodon, the mute function can be set for a specific period of time. Mute means you won't see that person's posts, but you'll still be notified if they mention or tag you. A Block, on the other hand, means you don't want to see anything related to that person anymore. It's a much more radical action, useful if that person is disrupting your experience, offending you, or displaying any other serious behavior. In such cases, it’s important to file a report so administrators can take action and learn more about the user.

Sometimes I see advice to block immediately anyone posting content you don't want to see. In my opinion, if the content is simply not of interest to you, a mute is enough, while a block is more appropriate for people displaying clearly negative behavior.

Many platforms also offer filters: you can choose which words or hashtags you don't want to see and, accordingly, hide them. Filters can help personalize and improve your overall social experience.

Activated auto-reply in my last gmail account pointing to my professional e-mail, my Mastodon / SimpleX accounts. Preferably asking to call/talk to me in person (or via Signal). Feels good!
I figured deleting gmail rapidly may backfire in the long run - first I need to make sure #google is eradicated from all services I registered throughout all those years, so no one can impersonate me later/claim other accounts using my closed google account.
