I started using Sync for Lemmy, even though I don’t like their privacy policy, just so I can block entire instances. I’m also really liberal with the block community options. I’ve got most of the political communities blocked, but it’s surprising how many there are, so I still come across them. I literally just blocked a leopards ate my face community right before reading your response, since the entire premise of the community is political schadenfreude. I’ve also blocked a bunch of communities that are overall negative. I’m a hair away from blocking the technology community since it’s almost all privacy invasion reports, which really gets my blood boiling. I’m not even sure if all that blocking has helped to be honest with you. I subscribed to like 60 different communities for subjects that interest me and the only one that is active is a Star Trek Memes one, so I spend a lot of time in the Everything community and it’s still pretty negative despite my efforts. I’m at a crossroads right now where I’m thinking about just leaving, or changing the way I interact with the site, because I think it is making me overall less happy.
