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 want to end up in a bubble and only hear opinions I already agree with. I think I did block one far right instance entirely, cause I don’t value the ideas of bigots and fascists.

    Hmmmmm

    Edit: Apparently tankie bullshit is fine!

      If you’re on a road trip, and you can’t agree on a destination, then arguing about the route to get there is pointless.

      in this analogy, the “destination” in question is whether or not women/lgbt/blacks/jews/etc deserve rights. No point in discussing healthcare policy with someone who thinks women should be property and gays should be executed.

        Yeah, tankie bullshit deserves to be heard because of an open mind, but not fascist bullshit.

        Both are bullshit and should be blocked.

          well, it’s not the first time I’ve been called a communist for saying that people deserve rights.
