I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

I wish I could. But as a mod, it very much helps to leave all people and instances/communities unblocked.

My sympathies - I had to do that on Reddit and it was an enormous relief when I finally stepped down and was able to block a particularly onerous troll (who was mostly fairly helpful to the community itself, just singling me out as the only mod to receive his ire - I had offered to make him one but he turned it down). I hope you are able to preserve your sanity, b/c your mental health is important too, as well as all those that you protect from people's toxicity (from whatever instance it may derive from). :-)

Yeah, It’s a mostly thankless “job” but it’s good to feel that I’m helping to build something. And at least so far- the trolls are mostly tolerable.

Thanks so much for the response and kind words.

I blocked .ml and there was a sharp decrease of content.

Seeing that, I was forced to walk back and use reedit more. At least there you won't find people arguing pro-genocide in a post about Linux Kernel.

Or that Russia is actually totally not an authoritarian state LMAO

Choose an ml community and post content from there to an equivalent non-ML community from time to time and we won't have to worry about a "content shortage" in the future. Someone posted a nice list of ML communities and an equivalent non-ML one ITT
