Key to enjoying the fediverse is blocking the fuck out of every comm you dont want to see on your feed. I have lots of stuff blocked, some keywords and users as well. I recommended Voyager as a client, it has various features in that regard.

I wish people would limit US politics to comms designated for that, rather than forcing the rest of us to wade through that filth looking for world news. It’s already all over every other news source.

I block communities I have not interest in. So I don’t want any real limits on whats created.

Communities that are about actively looking for things to get mad at. Cringe, lolcows, ragebait, etc. It’s not healthy and it quickly devolves into bullying.

Controversial, but fauxbait. It means “fake jailbait”. Jailbait, of course, refers to lewd pictures of underage girls. So fauxbait is women who are of the age of majority, but strive to look as young as possible. They shave and wax, they don’t eat as much as they should, and they’re generally short to boot, so it looks like you’re looking at a middle school kid, but it’s really someone who can drink at the bar in America (21+).

Especially since Lemmy is so big on exposing the people in the Trump-Epstein files who are trafficking and abusing young women and girls, I don’t want to see people posting fauxbait. It makes the whole fediverse look bad. Like we don’t care about the girls, we only wanna take down the billionaires, and we only pretend to care about their extracurricular activities because it’s ethical leverage.

I guess if you’re 17-20, these girls are fine to you, but I’m pushing 50 and have nieces and nephews who are older than that. I like seeing grown women as much as the next guy, but if my first thought is, “she needs to put something on,” she’s probably too young (or is trying to look that way) and that’s something I don’t wanna see.

Sports communities.

I hate how many pop up post 3 things a day for a month then disappear. Bloats the hell out of my block list.

Any Type Of A Populist Polarized Or Doomerist Community it breaks one of the main points of why i switched to the fediverse

I don’t care because I can just block the community.

I use voyager webapp and blocking a community takes 3 seconds:

• you are in the „All“-tab
• you see a community you want to never see again
• you don’t have to enter the post or community, simply press and hold the community
• tap „block community“

I have 0 patience for people who “don’t want to see that” on fedi. The whole concept behind fedi is to have a single connected web of every social media platform – the design and implementation is specifically intended to make space for literally everyone and everything. If you don’t like encountering something, it is incumbent on you to use the curation tools at your disposal to remove it from your feed – you have no right to try to remove it from fedi altogether.

I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand

The best thing about Reddit is that it lets you mute any community you don’t like, and you can even block notifications and your timeline from giving you recommendations or suggestions altogether. So honestly, with all these features, Idk how anyone could still have a problem with certain communities existing!
