Voyager’s tagging feature has made all of this not only easier to deal with, but sort of fun. I can make up my own labels such as ‘verified physicist’ or ‘paedo Nazi cunt’, and colour code them to easily spot them in threads. It diffuses my anger at trolls since I can spot them right away now. Highly recommend Voyager as a front end for Lemmy (and also to binge watch as the nights get long, Janeway is the bomb).
Voyager also has per-user vote tracking, so even without tagging someone you can see at a glance how often you’ve liked or disliked their posts and comments in the past. It makes detecting quality contributors or trolls much easier.
For example, I haven’t tagged LillyPup yet but there’s a green +54 next to your name so I know I’ve enjoyed your contributions many times in the past. :)
Lemmy is not chill. Try saying something this hivemind doesn’t like. Wherever people gather, they’re going to do people things. Lemmy is small, so the number of shitty people is relatively smaller.
It’s as chill as you make it. That’s why Lemmy and Mastodon are superior to every social network. You have full control over what communities you sub to, what folks you’ll tolerate, etc. It’s not trying to ragebait you at every corner with no way to avoid it other than not engaging or logging in at all.
Deleted every account years ago and never looked back. Recommend. The peace is enjoyable and Lemmy is chill.
Certain instances moreso than others.
As a new user, a meme ranking instances from least to most chill would be illuminating
You’re on lemmy.zip, you’re good. Look at any of the admin demigodrick’s posts and you’ll see what I mean
still shitty trolls with sock puppets, brigading, harassing, and being gross on lemmy too. but the volume is much lower.

You’re +2 for me! I think we just haven’t interacted that much from my end, because now I’ve tagged you as a Standup Guy, in green.
And you have block tools readily available to you that aren’t constant shifting around in the UI, or being removed entirely.
The volume is low enough, you can block the worst of the people and actually make an appreciable difference.

I don’t like that! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Block all political, local town, and news communities. place is very chill after that.
