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.

Can someone please explain all the .ml hate? From what I've seen, it's mostly a tech (i.e., not tank!) instance and I haven't experienced any drama at all aside from other instances hating on us. It seems WAY too overblown and generalized from my experience. If the OP blocked .ml are they even able to see my response here?

If you never browse all, you probably miss it, but anything which is politics or news adjacent is filled with campist brain rot from people who think "socialism" is relitigating the cold war. Then you will get banned for saying things like "remember that time Russia shot down a civilian airliner?" or "I don't think sexual violence is a right of the oppressed."

That's probably it - I've only browsed All once or twice when I've run out of new Subscribed posts...I must be missing the drama from other random communities.
