      Lemmy has a fair number of loud, toxic instances, communities, and users. On the other hand, it’s easy to block all of them, and it’s practically a requirement to enjoy lemmy.

      So block with zero hesitation – the only people that will give you crap about it are the people that are the problem in the first place.

      The only sub I would regularly discuss politics in was a sub that had a “Be civil” rule.

      You could argue and say shit about politicians, but name-calling directed at another user would get the comment deleted.

      Of course, even that wouldn’t be enough for some people even here…I remember someone who was creating multiple posts about how bad Lemmy is because someone said they were “butthurt” about downvotes, lol
