I've recently turned into a blocker. - Divisions by zero

I always felt like it was wrong to block an account unless it was smth absolutely insane. Nazis etc. But now I’m blocking people who’s tone I dont like, or who are baiting or actingnin bad faith. I know I can’t do it as a mod. But i can certainly do it as an individual now. Judgy comment? Blocked. Unnecessarily confrontational? Blocked. This is new to me, literally 3 days. Wonder how this affects my feed. Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can’t see it. I wish they couldn’t see anything I posted either. What are your blocking habits? If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?

Hexbear is fine? I don’t get why everyone dislikes hexbear. Most smart conversations I’ve had involve a hex user.

I’d rather block more .world users

.ml and lemmy grad are more aggressive version of Hexbear, calling everything “lib” is a common conservative buzzword, for things i dont like. one in the same, so i block that instance too.

They can be very trolly, but also people very much dislike the pervasive ideology on there.

Just blocked hexbear - Lemmy Today

Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think. If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484 [https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484] Edit: there’s also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693 [https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693]
