"How do we reduce toxicity on the Fediverse, and on the wider internet?" (lemmy.world)

Obviously, the internet has always been a toxic place, (the phrase “flame war” has been around for decades,) but it seems to have gotten so much worse over the last few years. I used to think decentralization of the internet would fix the worst of it, but Lemmy seems to have gotten worse alongside the rest of internet culture, proving me wrong. How do we fix/improve this culture of toxicity?

Block .ml and don’t engage with .ml users And hexbear and lemmygrad

  • Shun the toxic people. Block them and don’t look back.
  • Seriously, block them. They’re still gonna toxic whether you’re there to observe it or not.
  • Find a well moderated instance that isn’t afraid to show toxic people the door
  • Block .ml, grad, hexbear, dbzer0, and quokk.au
  • Block any other instance or person that centers itself around identity politics
  • Block all the news/politics communities. Just get your news from actual news services. The comment section for most news/politics posts here is worse than an entire garbage dump on fire.And you’ll end up with like 3 federated users left which is basically my /all feed now 😑

Neither hexbear nor lemmygrad are even federated with .world. I joined .ml because it was federated with both but was not sure I'd miss out on useful tech communities from the largest instance (.world). Hardly see anything worth engaging with there anyway, I think it has actually gotten worse.

.world preemptively defederated from Hexbear when the instance was about to move into the main lemmy fork

preemptively defederated

"as a last resort", of course

Looking at my last posts, seems I mostly post here anyway even for tech things. Blahaj memes are good, shame it got defederated but it's more understandable

I check it sometimes and it's just...so dull
