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.

Lemmy.ml and hexbear were the first two I blocked and have zero regrets.

I blocked a few others because the content didn't interest me and my preference is to browse on All instead of Subscribed so I can find content in communities I did not know existed. For example I blocked lemmynsfw because I didn't want the content to come up while browing in public.

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

Not to kinkshame/judge (while judging) but lemmynsfw is super weird. There's like 50 celebrity or more communities all ran by one guy who uploads like one picture or 50 in a row. I just browse by all but the NSFW filter protects me from seeing a celebrity every 10th post.

That’s why I run 2 different Lemmy apps. One for work and regular browsing. And a second one for those fun NSFW times.
