Politics

A break from politics, without going off-grid

SanityMode hides political posts and election coverage on the sites you already use — temporarily or permanently. You can come back to it; you don't have to live in it.

The pattern

  • Every feed is the same three stories in different colors.
  • You can't tell anymore if you're informed or just exhausted.
  • You want to be a citizen, not a 24/7 news consumer.

What SanityMode does

Political keywords muted

Posts and headlines naming candidates, parties and elections get hidden or softened. You decide which terms count.

Election-season mode

A single toggle hides election coverage entirely for a chosen number of weeks, then quietly turns itself back off.

Civic news still reachable

Local-government, voting-information and 'how to' civic content stays visible — only the horse-race coverage is filtered.

FAQ

Is this politically biased?
No. It hides political content regardless of which side it comes from. The filter doesn't read positions; it reads patterns.
Can I un-mute one party but not the other?
Technically yes via keyword lists — but we don't recommend it. The point is less of all of it, not a tuned partisan bubble.
Will I miss the election?
No. Election Day reminders and your local polling info stay visible. Only the constant coverage between cycles is filtered.
