I was just mentioning that to my partner lol. If someone has a bad enough take on a subject, I just remove that interaction, and make sure I don’t think about their opinions anymore. I’m sure some people will say that I’m not open-minded enough and shouldn’t block people with other views but I don’t have that kind of time, and I don’t feel like making it my problem.
I mostly block people with egregiously bad-faith takes. I like an internet argument when at least one side is providing sources or well-reasoned arguments, it’s an opportunity to learn, but when someone is just barely disguising their bigotry while “just asking questions” I’d just rather not see them ever again.
Honestly, idk why I even look at most Lemmy comments anymore. They’re mostly just hostility and I really don’t like that
I block people all the time, really improves my experience. Dissenting opinions aren’t always worth hearing.
