Yeah, I wish there was a “happy mode” on Lemmy for when I’m already feeling a bit of existential dread. I know it’s not really possible without doing expensive content scanning but I can dream.
I’ve never been someone who blocks people and I’ve never been into filtering posts on any site/platform. But there’s no shame in it here. It’s VERY intended for users to have that ability. For a bit I was even considering using adblock filters to get block some keywords but that hasn’t been as much of a problem lately for me. But just a few communities and accounts are responsible for most of the doom and gloom.
Depressing content, and comments full of political extremism where even if you agree in principle, if you don’t take it to quite the extent the rest of them take it, they wanna crucify you.
Like…as much as my political opinions tend toward progressive, my time here has really gotten me to come around on why a lot of people elsewhere on the political spectrum can’t stand progressives.
More fun-type content.
I like Lemmy, but I feel constantly bombarded by depressing content and “comedy” poisoned by irony and sadness.

Yeah this place is by far the most negative social media I’ve tried
