This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
I only still go to reddit for that on one account (in incognito). My main account has only recently logged back in for regular browsing (but I try not to comment and I only use old.reddit + res) because Reddit is where a huge amount of the information I’m trying to find online is still housed, game information, niche hobbies, etc… It may be rotting from the inside, but its corpse is still walking and talking, and until the situation gets bad enough people are going to continue using it. I only interact here, but with the nature of how small the communities are, and the fact that I use [All - Top -Past 6 hours] my front page is still basically just the same articles about every fucked up thing going on around me posted onto every instance so I see the same headlines and pictures of Trump almost a dozen times, interspersed with various fetish porn communities.
Feel free to block mentions of him name, either on your app or using a uBlock filter: https://lemmy.world/post/24545370
I think the biggest worry could be the repetition. Seeing an article on anything once - be it Brazilian economy or Norwegian electric grid - is interesting and great, but seeing the same article 12 times in a day can get tedious.
This isn’t a problem with just Lemmy, but it’s where I see it as it’s mostly what I use.
I’d like to see a change to prevent this duplication, but I suspect it’d be challenging to merge comment histories and/or keep comments separated. Just, once I’ve seen a trump article, for sure, I don’t want to see that sad dreck another 11 times!
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about a way to filter posts.
lol if i filtered out trump/musk posts and block the furry instances there would be nothing left!
!movies@lemm.ee
!casualconversation@lemm.ee
!homeimprovement@lemmy.world
!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
!showsandmovies@lemm.ee
!photography@lemmy.world
!newcommunities@lemmy.world as a way to discover other ones
Try sorting by scaled to we posts form smaller communities trying to grow.
There is lots of stuff on lemmy outside of Trump/Musk and furries (tbh I think either I blocked the furries or somehow have not come across it for months now)
