I really love the #filters here on #Mastodon. Unlike on previous corporate-owned platforms I’ve used, Mastodon filters allow me to hide one major source of traffic: the US.
English is my primary language and America and its culture floods the anglosphere.
I’m Australian and Dutch. I wish the best for Americans but I have no need to be kept up to date on every detail of the latest horrible thing happening in that country.

七夕や 望を乗せる 笹の舟
Tanabata ya nozomi o noseru sasa no fune

Richard Sensei is good but the 3-11 Ben Sensei is the best...
For me, it's Harajuku
There's nothing like seeing tourists getting fleeced by nigerian and japanese touts and sellers of bricabrac.
For me JapanCircleJerkers, it's Ben Sensei again. Ben Sensei meets Nick Sensei in Japan.
Richard Sensei v Ben Sensei? Hard to say but definitely the Ben Sensei ones hit the spot because of all the multiple Senseis of Japan....
