Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
there are increasingly a greater number of nutjobs, spammers, and hostile/miserable/angry people. my block list is like 300+ now. 6-9 month ago it was like 12 people.
2 years ago it was mostly super nerds just nerding about.
I’m curious what your threshold for blocking is. I don’t block anyone. I appreciate dissenting opinions. I can totally appreciate that there are bad actors out here, but a blocklist of 300+ sound like a curated echo chamber.
Feel free to block me.
people calling me/others names, spamming agendas, or generally being hostile nutjobs pushing some extremist agenda and accusing anyone who isn’t in agreement with them as being the enemy, and that the enemy should be killed.
oh and people who personally harass you, like going around commenting on multiple unrelated comments you made to repeatedly call you names, and downvote you, of course.
