@ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world There's a very tight correlation between useless and insufferable, both online and IRL. Online, I make liberal use of block or mute. IRL, I had to leave some groups I wound up in. It really wasn't tenable to be in like five different groups anyway, but it really helped me when a longtime activist here told me "Only stay in the groups that feed your heart." Wow, I needed to hear that.
