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.
How do you have them blocked? Is it just communities hosted there don’t appear or do you not see the uswrs’ comments elsewhere too?

I think it’s just the communities that don’t appear.
