I tend to avoid blocking communities and people on social media as I don't want to create myself an echo chamber. On other social media, such as x/twitter, I only block folk who are directly abusive to myself.

While I generally STRONGLY agree with this sentiment there are some things that I either find too repulsive or offensive to want to see on my feed. People calling for the death of politicians, or insisting that everyone other than them is intellectually inferior, or just the general usage of derogatory terms... yeah I don't need to be angry :D

ETA: it also felt like there was way too much Russian and Chinese propaganda on a lot of those. As an American that gave me the ick

Wow, the comments are really turning into a dumpster fire.

My hot take is not to block instances because you can't report what you can't see

Holy duck! Lemmy has become r/conservative.

I'm a leftie and can't stand tankies, but lemmy is becoming a really intolerant place. On reddit we were all united against u/spez no matter our other disagreements. Here, after only a few months we're talking about blocking instances and communities instead of just joining and viewing the ones that Interest us...

Perhaps it's time to let this experiment run its course.

Mate I've only been here like a week and I can promise you that most people here are left-wing

Edit: reddit was united with everyone hating each other lmao

I just want a news feed that doesnt constantly anger me and convince me to argue. I'd wanted to block TwoXChromosomes on reddit forever because I wasnt its target audience and got nothing out of it. So I'm personally enjoying actually getting some control over my echo chamber for once

Edit: Also, nuanced takes I disagree with? I dont block those. Its the batshit/extremist ones that I block, I dont feel they are really adding much to my life anyways
