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.

    I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words “left” and “right” but trying to block everything else political.

    What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don’t speak (usually) German.
