Nothing, but i have a word blocklist on trump, elon and ice. So that way I am up to date because some stuff still comes through, but not knee deep in the fascism takeover of the US (at least on Lemmy 🥲)

All of the trans communities.

I don’t like their patronizing, berating attitude coupled with censoring anyone who might raise a valid point against them.

Sports and Linux.

I have no interest in sports.

I also have no interest in Linux, I have installed and used Linux around ten years ago. If and when I need Linux I’ll just go to the mainstream internet or just unblock them and join. But for now no.

Have LꝏꝏꝏTs communities blocked , but noteworthy types :

• Most (meme|shitpost|news) communities . Oversaturation from seemingly homogenous threadiverse userbase
  • (Meme|shitpost) content dœsn’t lend itself well to conversations (which’s what am here for) IMO . If I wanted those I’d just browse tumblr oar some thing
  • Prefer getting my news elsewhere
• “(Cringe|Trashy)”-adjacent communities . Thankfully not many exist
• All (.*)(girl|babe)s NSFW communities , don’t like seeing photorealistic imgs of conventionally attractive women

As far’s instances , only one can remember 🏧’s hilariouschaos bcus TERF community on there I think

Don’t have any instances blocked, but I block all the political, trans, furry, and mental illness communities. I wish people wouldn’t post political stuff to the YSK or general memes communities, there are 5 million better places to post that on lemmy, but it’s manageable.

Mostly just sports communities. They tend to post a lot, and I just don’t really care about sports outside of Motorsport. If Arsenal has some insane game, or gets a great player signed, I’ll hear about it at work sooner or later, either from coworkers or a customer. I would say the only big sport that doesn’t apply to between those played in North America and Europe is probably cricket, cause nobody has time for it. Then again, haven’t seen a single cricket post, either.

I can stay current on what’s going on with the NFL, NBA, MLB, Premier League, rugby and even hurling, just by showing up to work, so there’s no real benefit to seeing it here, too.

Also, AI communities get blocked pretty much as soon as they pop up in my feed. The novelty of “Hah, that’s crazy that a computer made this image” has long since worn off, and I have no interest in seeing the umpteenth iteration of some AI take on art or photography.

I don’t have the option ticked to show nsfw content, and people have generally been good about tagging such content, so I haven’t had to block anything there.

All the non-English ones. If I can’t read it then there’s no point to having it clutteting things up.

Also all the porn. That’s not what I’m here for.

Blocked most furry and trans communities. I’m not against it, not into it and its overrepresented here for obvious reasons.

None. I can handle other ideas and opinions just fine.

Blocked furry and most trans stuff. A ton of the porn that littered my feed. That’s probably 75% of my blocklist. Many non-english communities, though I’ve kept a few to run through translators just to see what’s going on in other countries. Communities with high post counts of memes that spam my feed. Any /c with no interest in good faith discussion.

Anything with anime “Mo”, porn, or “furry” in it. I’m not hating on them, it’s just not for me.

Personally I block anything that ends with “moe” I’m not really into thirst traps and anime thirst traps feel like the bottom of an already unwanted barrel.

I don’t have any. I instead subscribe to as many communities I find interesting and set my feed to only my subscriptions. I rarely venture out to All and only do when I want to discover more communities.

When I got started on Lemmy, browsing All, I was stunned by all the Furry/Brony crap. Blocking that made All more feasible… but man, it was a lot!

“Elon” “Musk” “Trump” “Donald”
