I found that things became much more pleasant on here when I blocked hexbear. I recently blocked lemmy.ml as well, but I may reverse that if I find that I’m missing too much good content.
I’m open to other ideas on how to mostly avoid people who love conflict or argue in bad faith.
On this account, porn, most sports stuff, any instance that’s in a language I can’t read, and a few communities in .ml and hexbear.
