Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Quite literally, you need to learn self-control, how to pick your fights, manage your emotions.
You really wanna let a bunch of random asshats on the internet live rent free in your head, dictate the emotional course of your day, your evening, your week?
This is where the 'touch grass' meme partially comes from.
Sometimes, you need to let go, walk away, pet a kitty, hug a dog, admire a tree... or more ideally, work on some hobby that you find fun and fulfilling, and is at least potentially 'useful' in some very broad kind of practical way.
Also, a lot of people are beyond wrong/misinformed; they're actively committed to denying that they're wrong, even after its been shown that they are wrong.
You can just block people who are unwilling to admit fault or learn.
Its doesn't need to be your responsibility to personally deal with every dumb idiot asshole on the internet.
