Life becomes so much easier when you remove those sources. I blocked both reddit and twitter (twitter is more of a soft block because I have time periods where it's allowed) and honestly, life is easier. For awhile I felt that lemmy was a safe area as well, but honestly it's starting to get overbearing here too. it's a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Yeah, I've had to be really heavy handed in using lemmy's block feature to block communities and users. Also hiding posts.
There's plenty wrong in the world, but working yourself into fear/panic/anxiety over the things outside of your control doesn't help.
Then again, other people are mostly outside of your control and thats a good thing. Yet there is importance to get into conversations especially when facing disagreement.
Imo lemmy is quite good at controversy.
I still heavy handedly blocked a lot of anime girl communities
