I'd say that generally applies to me across any app, that's why I mostly lurk. I'd just block people who are dicks.

Not really, but there are some communities I refuse to post in, and certain kinds of posts that I always disable notifications for, because I know I am going to get the nastiest, ugliest notifications because lemmings refuse to acknowledge that I get the notifications and not Trump or Hegsheth or whomever. If I misjudge something and it starts to draw awful responses, I just delete it -- there's nothing to be done to stem the tide otherwise and deletion fixes the problem pretty immediately without any downside to me.

Not too much, but I kinda get it. If you're feeling "horrible anxiety" about what a complete stranger, who knows nothing about you, said, you need to get offline and get around other humans.

I see of a lot of similar anxiety complaints around here that make me anxious. I need you to know, this sort of thing isn't normal in the general population. For example, there's not a soul on my block, of any age or race, who would give two shits and would look at me strangely over the question.

Hey, way to face your fear! Hope you have a nice day
