Great addition - I just wanted OP to be aware of what is possible, like if you continue to get notifications for multiple weeks after mistakenly making a comment on Chapotraphouse that didn’t bash Biden hard enough and then cease responding anymore yet continue to get those notifications daily… you don’t have to leave the entire Fediverse, it is possible to just separate yourself away from that source of (nonconsensual) noise.
But the further away you stay from politics communities(and news, and memes, and maybe other popular ones), the less controversial content you have to deal with. Many communities are outright tiny, and most (numerically anyway) I would wager are very non-toxic, and even friendly. But the bigger ones are worth a warning imho.
This is not universal, I’ve blocked maybe seven people and two communities and I’m as good as ever, over a year into using Lemmy.
Blahaj.zone is already a pretty intensely curated experience as far as I recall
