My strategy is to avoid topics that negatively affect me at all, unless the topic at hand directly and immediately impacts me in some way. I cut off all social media except HN and don't browse anything else. (Except YT I guess, but I don't comment a lot there so I don't count it.) Commentwise, I always ask myself if I'm about to comment because I have something meaningful to add, or if I'm commenting to argue with the parent. If it's the latter, I just close the tab. Life's too short to argue on the Internet.
