The basic skill of mindful meditation is to be aware of thoughts as they arise and in doing so avoid the trap of being identified with them and captured by them. Without needing to obtain a saffron robe and head up a mountain for a few years, you can just accept that your mid is going to start its "This fool needs to be schooled!" routine and (almost) instantly understand that you don't need to school the fool despite the strong inclination to do so.
Not only doe this free you from the rarely productive effort of schooling fools, but helps get you past the feelings so that you can better judge when you want to spend the effort to school a fool, then do so without the emotional baggage which will undermine your lesson.

Like all such things, the more you practice, the easier it gets. Given the overwhelming number of active fools and their endless reinforcements, you're going to get plenty of practice.

As for trite advice concerning molesting vegetation, exposure to the elements, pursuing nominally rewarding activities, etc. the underlying wisdom of keeping a healthy grasp on the big picture such that judgements of how to spend the limited resource which is our attention can also be reinforced by your practice.

With that deep insight and wisdom out of the way, keep schooling the fools*. We are those fools and we need schooling from time time. Do it with kindness and as much skill as you have for the good of us all.

*[Some of those fools are, of course, trolls. Even then, your audience is larger than the troll.]

Lots of great fonts and families mentioned so far in this thread, but no-one has mentioned my current and long-time favourite for almost all environments and applications: Input.

$ echo sans serif monospace | xargs -n 1 fc-match
InputSansCondensed-Regular.ttf: "Input Sans Condensed" "Regular"
InputSerifCondensed-Regular.ttf: "Input Serif Condensed" "Regular"
InputMono-Regular.ttf: "Input Mono" "Regular"

I did the same thing on a different Lemmy instance, probably for the same reason. I just created a pull request to fix the broken instructions - pull 88.

Nothing is lost, but I'm quite sure that the instance admin will need to disable 2FA in your account for you to regain access, however I suspect that the lemmy.world admin is going to be busy for a while due to the recent exploit.

Be mindful of the fact that the PWA is effectively a browser tab running with the profile from which the PWA was installed. There is no separation or segregation of site data, browser history, etc.

Alas, the PWA cannot be installed from an Incognito browser session, however on (some?) mobile devices the site can be added as an icon or launcher from a more private browser such as Firefox Focus. This is not the same as the PWA, but will open the site in a browser tab at the click of the icon. When site data is not stored between sessions, it will be necessary to log in each session - a trivial task when using a modern password manager.

What are you trying to achieve?

Mastodon and Kbin are quite different platforms and you can have as many accounts on as many instances of each as you wish (and the admins thereof offer). What you do with each is up to you.
