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 don’t block any instances, though I am rather happy that .world decided to defederate with hexbear and .grad. I’m not so bothered by .ml, while they can be a little annoying sometimes, they’re at least usually able to carry on a semi-intelligent conversation. Usually anyway.

      That might explain it then. Everybody’s talking about blocking hexbear, and I’ve never had any idea what they were talking about, but I’m on .world, so I guess it’s already blocked for me.

        I use world now instead of blahaj just cause I’m a weirdo. But hexbear was federated with blahaj and their users/admins are super irresponsible and rude and called a blahaj admin transphobic
