MODERATORS
Like anywhere on the internet, it really comes down to doing your best to exude the kind of energy you want to receive back (and moderation/filtering). There are all types of people around and the key is to just do your best to stay positive. Moderation tools are also more primitive on Lemmy, so, as traffic grows, users will have a larger role to play in reporting and manually curating their feeds via blocking.
If it ever feels like too much, I also recommend taking a break from social media. You may also want to consider other instances like beehaw.org, which goes to great lengths to maintain its particular atmosphere.
Nicest go touch grass I've ever read
I'm reading this from beehaw, I believe we're federated with lemmy.ml. But I don't think we want him if he's just gonna insult people without even articulating what's bothering him.
