@mintie @Tarale My psych suggested I needed to do some things and part of that is try to be, not sure what the word is, resilient - not get overly affected or angered by what others say. And similarly not be backward in being forward myself. And I like to think I give everyone's opinion a fair go. For that reason it's incredibly rare I block/mute/ignore someone on a platform. But it's self-care to stay out of the way of someone's hate-beam.
I had to do my first fedi-block today and that saddens me a little
