I will start by saying I have toyed with posting this because as soon as someone says they don’t wanna see it, someone will make a community for it. However I feel like some of the stuff that makes Reddit annoying is creeping over. And just because I don’t like it does not mean its not a valid community. So if it is least put in the right place (rather that the bigger generic communities) I can then just filter or block it.
Ill start I don’t want to see
- Am I the arsehole
- Relationship drama
- Celebrity worship/drama
So what communities DON’T you want to see here?
You must log in or # to comment.
Any sublemmy that’s name starts with “fuck”.
Always a miserable time, even if I agree with the sentiment of some of those places.
Focusing on things you hate leads to noticing more of the thing you hate. Sounds miserable.
anything to do with promoting violence against minorities. that was something reddit defended as “freedom of speech”
Billionaires are a minority …
That’s a very reductive meaning of word minority.
Minority doesn’t just quantity. You can have large quantities of slaves and they are still the minority in a world where money=power.
Billionaires are not at risk of disenfranchised by someone with more power eg: money. In a world that benefits those with money with power.
They don’t have their lives literally at risk over not being able to pay a medical bill. Or eat.
Billionaires benefit from social economic oppression.
Billionaires are social economic oppression.
They don’t have their lives literally at risk
Which is exactly the issue such a community would be addressing.
That’s not what minority means. What you’re talking about is marginalized groups
And you’re making my original point, : stop punching them
Syntax whining is just to derail and and further marginalizing by pulling focus. This is the exact shit that needs to stop by you closet racists
but violence against majorities or ‘oppressors’ is OK?
heck, entire instances here are built on the principle of violent revolution against certain groups, but not against their group…
I don’t understand anything of what you just said.
yeah, I notice that when you confront folks on lemmy about the hypocrisy of their beliefs they pretend to be dumb, or just call you names.
it’s funny how violence is totally cool here, as long as the person calling for it doesn’t feel like they would be subjected to it.
Yeah, you might even find people on here celebrating John Brown or the French resistance in WWII. The horror!
pretty much if its unfun, then it gets blocked, so like pretty much everything politics related, most things pertaining to real world drama, and the communities that solely exist to bash on so-and-so. they are often pretty negative.
we block a lot of stuff, heres a screenshot!
the reason we block stuff is simply that we’re here for fun, not really to dabble in politics and so forth. there are times and places we set aside for that, where we do put effort into activism work, but this place is one we seek enjoyment in.
please remember that happiness is a vital part of healthy being :)
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 spend enough time playing whack-a-mole on my various platforms now that I might as well call it a hobby.
Yeah but this is how it should be. Too many poeple expect the feed to curate itself for them and we know how that ends up.
things that could bring the server under investigation for illegal activities.
otherwise, I can block them.
any sub rewriting history.
Looking and other replies, I don’t agree that this post has to have to do with technical solutions to what we don’t want to see here. Obviously we can block what we don’t want to see, so that’s not even a question I find engaging. Instead, I’ll make my response about what communities used to annoy me over at Reddit and why.
- Grooming subs, subs that generate and/or distribute CSAM, ban evasion subs (hopefully I don’t need to give reasons for this one. If you want reasons, ask).
- White supremacist subs, because I’m leftist and I hate to see the otherization and demonization of marginalized people that they foster.
- Big tech offshoots like r/TikTokCringe because I went to Reddit to get away from them before it went shit, news subs like r/news because if I want watch or read the news I go to my own sources, braindead slop like r/LivestreamFail because they’re already available over at Meta’s toilets and TikTok if I wanted to have anything to do with them.
Relationship drama on Lemmy, a space even nerdier than Reddit? Would be a ghost town. 😬
not so much community, but the general thing I can’t stand is the victim echo chamber mentality things.
it’s so bizarre to me. there is a lot of it here, and no matter if you block the communities the mentality is everywhere in every thread.
Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I’m probably ok without that one.
I think there was a sub that was called /r/jailbait as well.
The fact that Reddit became mainstream after all that vile shit thriving on that platform is nothing short of insane.
They were both created and moderated by violentacrez.
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.
that’s the majority of what drives people’s engagement on the entire internet.
the most angry folks are the most engaged and produce the most content. and bullying is the point.
selling crack is the best way to get quick buck! The most desperate folk are the ones you get the most money from. And getting them addicted and dependent on you is the point.
fuck ‘engaging’ to ‘content’ though
I’m tired of people dragging politics into literally everything. We give them communities to talk politics in. We give them some leeway to talk politics here and there. But for the life of them, they won’t shut the fuck up about ANYTHING political.
because that’s their worldview. ‘everything is politics’
and when you think that way, it’s a justification for being a total hypocritical ass who wants to lecture everyone else but gets ‘offended’ when they see politics they don’t agree with.
and their justification for violence and harassment towards others. they need you to be on the other team, so they can dismiss/hate/threaten you.
Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.
Republican oxygen can stay on some other planet.
Anything centered around video.
communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general
repost communities
communities that promote generated content
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.
Just because I’m saying I don’t want to see it doesn’t mean I don’t want you to see it. Let’s not get heated out the gate.
If this is straight out of the gate for you, I’m sincerely sorry your first comment you read on the matter was me getting heated. For me, this is approximately the 4 billionth thread about “how should we gatekeep fedi?” and I’m extremely over it, possibly to the extent that I react when “who should we gatekeep?” is only a small part of a larger conversation.
