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?

    Block negative people. After a bit you will find lemmy to be enjoyable with fewer people clogging your comments, embroiled in modern social media hate.

    It makes a huge difference and this place is small enough to make blocking highly effective.

    As a bonus you can tell when blocked people have commented. It brings me joy to know am not exposed to their toxicity.i

      Agree 100%. Blocking the few random weirdos works really well on here. I imagine there may be one or two of them that are just shouting into the void at this point, and they don’t even realize it.
