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.
I only block users when they directly harrass me. I don’t really care if we disagree but if you’re following me around to different threads. You’re getting blocked.
