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.

Makes sense - appreciate the response! Regarding your last point, one look at my comment history shows I'm clearly not a troll, but totally get it...I just keep seeing all these posts/comments hating on .ml and having not seen anything myself, it makes me wonder if I'm missing something or if I should think about even switching instances...

There's some people who trolled like every other day or post but have some perfectly normal takes.. sometimes. Consider maggotycumsock or whatever his name is

/me gives a knowing head nod.

until we all learn to separate our identities from our politics from our technology, it will likely stay this way online.

for the record I will second your positive experience report regarding lemmy[.]ml - its diverse, (relatively) active, well federated and technically administered, runs bleeding edge server builds and is mostly drama free. cant think of much else I could ask for from a lemmy instance.
