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’ve blocked so many communities I wouldn’t know which specifically and my client doesn’t show this info but basically any hentai or political ones.

I have post and content filters and my lemmy experience is amazing. I omit anything containing: trump, elon, yiff

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.

Same here.

Then also around 600 communities and probably atleast 400 users blocked. Each list grows by the day.

Kermit? Did the frog endorse genocide again?

It was an AI generated picture trend a year ago or so which I found a bit spammy.
