A LARGE fraction of these can easily be curated by noticing what instance they are on. Hexbear tends to hold trolls, and while not everyone on Lemmy.ml is insane, conversely the most batshit insane comments I’ve received on Lemmy kept coming from there (less so than lemmygrad.ml, but still very noticeable).
So rather than leave the Threadiverse behind, I just personally blocked those instances, and I’m much happier ever since (note you can’t really do that using Lemmy software as the “instance block” feature is misnamed, only offering a “community mute”, but PieFed and a very select number of rare apps can do it, or custom Ublock filtering).
Apparently I still have some curating to do on my subscription/blocks. It’s not about any one specific person - just the Debbie Downers that pop up.
