Am I the only one tired of lemmy toxicity. (lemy.lol)

I became so exhausted from the toxicity on Lemmy that I began searching for alternatives, and I stopped trying to argue in the comments. This leads me to wonder: am I the only one who is feeling this way?

Maybe it puts me at risk of forming an echo chamber but I make liberal use of the block user, block community, block instance features.(in connect for lemmy. I don't know which are app specific.)

Lemmy seems to be small enough that blocking a few dozen particularly argumentative users noticeably improves the experience. Although I do try to avoid the politics communities and posts as those frequently end up with arguments and eventually name calling.

Are you consuming the all feed unfiltered?

Does it save those blocks? Cause I keep having to block the same communities over and over like it’s not sticking

I've experienced some of what you describe, but it works for the most part. I just looked through my blocked communities list and I haven't seen anything from them in a while.
