Wisdom.
Sadly you just have to trim the names that become the worst offenders.
I've followed loads of interesting people who have slowly stopped posting about the thing that was interesting about them and swapped to politics.
Periodic trims when it gets too much is the only way

Rainy day prep work for the recent Lord of the Rings madness that has consumed all my hobby time. I blame the new Saruman book for The One Ring. #@freeleaguepublishing #theonering #lordoftherings

Before the amount of Heroquest I played fizzled out I bought these @vaevictisminis.bsky.social skeletons to start replacing the official figures. Finishing these has rekindled the desire to start again. #heroquest #heroquestminiatures #heroquestcustom #fantasy #undeadminiatures

Quite a liberating little side quest. A barrow entrance from @fenrisgames.com turned into... A barrow.
Some more details to add, though I may evolve it narrativeky as it takes part in games too.

One more 80s dwarf painted for Mordheim. This will be used as the Dwarf Pathfinder hired sword.

I've added some characterful daemonic details to the towers. I don't really want to over do it, but if I find it's "lacking" after it's painted, I might add more greebles like shields and the like. I think it's ready for paint now!

A few cracking pics sent to me by Brad Schaive in the US, where he is currently running the Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles rules at the Fall In convention. Great to see such a stunning layout and congrats on the prize from HMGS! #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard

Should’ve posted this a bit earlier but there’s a Victorian promo post over on OSHIROblog. Same sort of layout as the previous promos; a few words, a few pictures and a gallery at the end 👍

WIP pictures of the WW2 evacuees from bad Squiddo that I’m currently painting. I’ll get these finished tonight but I’ve been taking my time with them as they are really nice sculpts and a very unusual subject.

BIG GAME!! 😆 A super time hanging out, drinking tea, and playing with toy soldiers today in an epic #Napoleonic #Wargame! 😃 @warlordgames.com #Blackpowder got us moving at a good lick, the game coming down to the last roll - the British Guards brigade broke - with both armies breaking on turn 4! 😄

4 Skaven Elites (i.e. Hearthguard for Saga), the old Advanced Heroquest models have a special place in my heart, and they were so much fun to paint 😍 Contrast paints work so well with the old models.

Next game day in the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game escalation league is coming up, and I finished the Balrog. Having him on the board is going to be quite a change for my Moria goblins.

Went with Steel Legion Drab edges in the end. Ballsed up on last base, was left with space for two but only a single and a three :(

V happy with this unit as the experiment/test piece.
