People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?

I have noticed that I’m very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.

This is pretty much in all subreddits I’m active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can’t call what is on Reddit content anymore.

    On the one hand I agree with you as for the curated experience, on the other hand echo chambers are unhealthy.

    My suggestion is to block bad faith participants. There are lots of conversations I have with people who disagree with me and probably can’t be convinced otherwise, but they are still enjoyable conversations if they are had in good faith.

    To be honest I don’t block that many users, I am able to spot bad faith participants and not reply to them, and if they reply to me I don’t reply back. But if people are having trouble with the argumentative minority of Lemmy, I think blocking them is important. There’s no point being here if you’re not enjoying it.
