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.

    Makes sense - appreciate the response! Regarding your last point, one look at my comment history shows I’m clearly not a troll, but totally get it…I just keep seeing all these posts/comments hating on .ml and having not seen anything myself, it makes me wonder if I’m missing something or if I should think about even switching instances…

      /me gives a knowing head nod.

      until we all learn to separate our identities from our politics from our technology, it will likely stay this way online.

      for the record I will second your positive experience report regarding lemmy[.]ml - its diverse, (relatively) active, well federated and technically administered, runs bleeding edge server builds and is mostly drama free. cant think of much else I could ask for from a lemmy instance.

      There’s some people who trolled like every other day or post but have some perfectly normal takes… sometimes. Consider maggotycumsock or whatever his name is
