I used to feel dread when I logged into reddit and saw that someone had replied to something I wrote. I no longer have an account there, and I even went for the nuclear option of overwriting all my old messages,
then deleting them in case they chose to restore them, because:
For me personally it helps that I’m on a dedicated instance for Danes, so that’s kind of like a safe haven, or like a kiddie pool where it was easier to get to know lemmy at first.
I no longer dread when someone replies because most of the people here on lemmy aren’t assholes. I think it’s because there’s this barrier to entry which filters out a lot of people, or maybe it’s that the assholes are looking for fights to begin with and is therefore attracted to the biggest platforms?

Fuck Spez.
Edit. Also you can just outright block the shit out of people who you know are problems.
Funnily enough, I've mostly blocked NSFW stuff (and I'm not even a prude):
A bit too hornyposting hahaha
What did they even say to get considered too hornyposting?
I get that too. I turn off comment notifications now. It’s almost always just some negative basement dweller trolling me.
