Seriously, people, start filtering out who gets to tell you shit.
Of course, don’t overdo it and create an echo chamber for yourself, block the extremes, but don’t block basic disagreement.
I started doing this years ago, primarily on Twitch.
I despise copy pastas and edgelord comments, it’s why I generally watch streamers that have a relatively chill and small audience.
But I do go into Kripps chat simply to fill up my block list with people that relentlessly spam chats with copy pastas and other similar sorts of comments.
Later I started being a bit more gung-ho doing the same on all platforms and it made all types of social media oh so much better.
You’ll quickly notice that a lot of the comments that put your teeth on edge came from the same few loud and obnoxious people, because once you start blocking people like that, after just 10-20 of them, the comments you see are already far more palatable.
This.
