It must suck to be a "normal" boomer in the internet getting lumped in with the shitheads of your demographic. Hell...you're the ones who pushed the civil rights movement.

It's a shame your generation (not you specifically, of course) fucked the world up to the point that every generation after you looks back in disgust and doesn't even consider the things you did right.

Niche communities are what makes the internet great.

It would be nice if you could select which topics interest you rather than having to block every community that does not.

I mean you kinda can do exactly that through subscriptions. Sub to the places you like and browse your main feed instead of All

Don't want to see people bitch about a site you don't use eh?

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

Well another commenter just told me that blocking sports and anime is equivalent to an echo chamber so we both better unblock them to have a healthier worldview /s

I forgot about the game subs in my estimate...I've got a lot of those blocked. I just don't care about patch notes for games I don't play.

That community, as well as the subreddit it came from, is a dumpster fire. It'd 99% bait or popular opinions.

I do agree with their no politics stance, though. There's 473773 communities to argue politics on already

Does the app you use let you block posts from an instance while not blocking the comments? If so, something to consider for yiffit.

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

Uhh that's why I browse All, my dude.

But thanks to your obnoxious comment, I now understand that sports, porn, and anime are a "worldview" and I'm unhealthy for blocking them. You are right, my life would be better if I knew that the Dodgers were trading Jimmy McBaseball. Not sure how I lived without seeing hardcore anal porn or Generic Anime on my feed every day

Lemmynsfw must not be federated with lemmy.ml and that's where it's concentrated so that makes sense. Horny anime posts are an instant block for me and I think I've taken care of most of them. I usually just see the -moe communities pop up now.

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

I set my language and don't see a lot of non-English communities but I'm not sure if those two things are related. I don't mind filtering them out, it's no more than a couple per week

Boomer humor is not all humor that boomers like. It's humor that was primarily popular in their era - like "I hate my wife" jokes fit because don't really play well anymore

glimse , to Autism in someone actually asked for an info dump

Wow how did you know? That was my exact first question!

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

I saw the first two seasons of AoT and liked it a lot. It has a well-defined art style. My only "complaint" is that I had a hard time telling a few characters apart

Do you know the word/name for the art style I described in my other comment? I call it "kawaii anime" but I know that's not right lol

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

Fair enough! It's nice that we can tailor our experiences in completely different ways.

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

The second-to-last one made me actually laugh out loud. What the fuck is that title lol

Aboringdystopia is one of those communities that doesn't resemble its namesake at all. The subreddit had rules to match the theme but the Lemmy equivalent is just the same news articles of shitty things happening that appear on all the other news communities. They're so lax about what constitutes "a boring dystopia," it feels so lazy to me

glimse OP , to Ask Lemmy in How many communities do you have blocked?

Hooollyy shit I totally forgot about those and had the exact same complaint! If I'm remembering correctly, at least some of those communities were from bots not flagged as bots. So you had people replying because they didn't know...

They were some of my early blocklist entries for sure
