    One thing I’ve started doing more than ever is blocking a ton of people. For example if I see someone making a post about twitter/elon/trump etc. I go to their profile and see if it’s just one time occurance or a patter and in the latter case I block them. If I see someone posting fuck this and fuck that and I hope this person dies etc. I block them without even viewing their post history.

    There’s just so many users on a platform like this that I simply can’t pay attention to everything so by blocking the people commenting in bad faith is the least I can do. Some might say I’m creating an echo chamber and maybe so but this really isn’t about wether I agree with them or not but wether your comments bring any value to the conversations.

      Over the long term this really does help keep your browsing experience enjoyable and your mind optimistic. Its way to common to get depressed from constantly seeing a torrent of bad news and negative posting.
