I should have known this thread would become toxic on Lemmy. Now I have another keyword I have to filter.

    I'm not really seeing any toxicity. Maybe my blocklist is better curated?

    Sure. Or maybe you have a different tolerance. Either way, I dont care. I just expect I wont see the next Amazon thread on Lemmy. Because Lemmy is incapable of discussing the topic in a way I want to engage.

    I am not here for an endless flood of negativity and doomerism. When I see it, I block what I think is necessary. I use keyword filters, user blocks, community blocks or occasionally the entire instance.

    That's great. It's a modern day necessity to shield oneself from the full brunt of social media, as it can be very unhealthy.

    Ironically, it was a comment on Lemmy that helped me think about it differently. (I already avoid all other social media.)

    Healthy, well-adjusted people do not spend time or mental energy on negative things they cannot control, especially those which are not directly effecting them.
