What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls? (lemmy.world)
 

I found that things became much more pleasant on here when I blocked hexbear. I recently blocked lemmy.ml as well, but I may reverse that if I find that I'm missing too much good content.

I'm open to other ideas on how to mostly avoid people who love conflict or argue in bad faith.

Every morning for the past 20 years. Mostly TWIM, but only for 20 minutes as a formal sit. Lots of short meditation breaks during the day, though. It has made me way less of an asshole, and a happier person.

Are these likely from homegrown fascists, or state-sponsored? I just block them regardless, but curious if Lemmy is popular enough to attract attention from Russian or Chinese disinformation farms.

Remember when planes and hospitals had smoking sections? (Probably a lot of you do not). in c/[email protected]

I took a smoking flight once. It totally reeked. Even as a smoker it was unpleasant. I also smoked in my hospital room after an appendectomy, which in hindsight seems absolutely nuts.

I quit 12 years ago after trying dozens of times. I credit e-cigs with helping me finally wean off of tobacco.

What a flock of raging assholes. How did they justify forcing working conditions like that on you that you clearly did not want? Did they offer any excuse for doing that?

Is this more of an ADHD thing, or an ASD thing?

I don't like bright overhead lights, either. I was diagnosed ADHD at the tender age of 56.
