Life becomes so much easier when you remove those sources. I blocked both reddit and twitter (twitter is more of a soft block because I have time periods where it's allowed) and honestly, life is easier. For awhile I felt that lemmy was a safe area as well, but honestly it's starting to get overbearing here too. it's a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
hard agree, that combined with the VPN ruleset it has, made the transition to a timed block so much easier. I can tell myself "well I could override the block" but then my next thought is "well it's only like a 50 or 60% chance that page would work anyway so not worth the effort"
Then again, other people are mostly outside of your control and thats a good thing. Yet there is importance to get into conversations especially when facing disagreement.
Imo lemmy is quite good at controversy.
I still heavy handedly blocked a lot of anime girl communities
like I said in the last line of the comment, I stated "starting too" It hasen't hit the limit for me yet. I expect it eventually will, in which case I will move on as the online world goes
unless you mean this community, in which case because I find the images posted funny/entertaining and it doesn't match the same atmosphere as X does so it doesn't annoy me
