      That’s kind of how this whole thing is supposed to work though, so yeah, it’s a legit concern. And in this example, since the thing they don’t want to see is so massively popular, it’s everywhere.

      Imagine how annoyed you would be seeing something you can’t stand everywhere you go, and dozens of times on a site you thought you could avoid it at.

      I don’t care much seeing a random post that I don’t care about, but when it’s content that I fucking hate, I look for ways to not have to put up with it when possible, unless it becomes more work than just scrolling past it.

          The purpose of language is to communicate, if it is understood by the target audience it is correct.

        Why do they say it like that? 😂. Don’t they listen to what they are saying?

          Because language evolves and isn’t prescriptivist. Especially in the US where a Founding Father wrote a dictionary to explicitly reject strict prescriptivism(it was still prescriptivist in ways but better than contemporaries).

        It’d take effort to care any less than I currently do. And I don’t care enough to reduce my interest any further.

    Add gaming while you’re at it. I’m a former gamer but I’m in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.

      it doesnt have to be nsfw; women’s official nfl uniforms circa 2021 on male players would have improved the game dramatically. lol

    I’d love a way to block “all anime / hentai / manga” related topics and posts.

    That stuff is everywhere, and invades everything. Like a cancer. Even communities which aren’t anime related. I’ll be subscribed to some community because I’m into the topic the community is based on - which has nothing to do with anime- and then some damn anime fan comes along and posts some weird/creepy “anime/hentai version of [topic]” and then it just spirals from there, and another community turns into another fucking anime community.

    Believe it or not, not everyone on the internet is obsessed with Japanese style animation, and the associated (weird/creepy) sexualization of such drawn/animated characters.

      What is most creepy about it is that all the “women” look like kids. They look like little girls with really big boobs. I don’t understand the appeal.

      Almost every “comics” community I’ve joined on here has gone from people talking about actual published comics to people postin webcomics and their own works within days.

        I guess we have different interests / see different things on the internet. But it definitely happens. Often.

      I’m the same, I routinely filter out anime stuff. Probably the most annoying thing is that I started playing FFXiV and now my in-line adverts are for gaccha anime crap and generally super cringe/bonk horny.

    FOR. FUCKING. REAL.

    Lemme just start my browsing experience by blocking 6 more god-forsaken, bot-run sports communities. Is there any corner of this fucking earth I can go to and NOT be bombarded by goddamned sports?

    Meh, I like wheel related sports, partial to BMX but I’ll take what I can get. I’m not into ball sports at all though.

    How about a filter that can filter out all men playing with their balls?.. 🤔

      Oof I forgot about motor sports. IMO even more boring than ball sports.

      Which I didn’t think was possible, but I forgot about motor/wheel sports existence

        I’ll toss you an upvote for admitting you forgot about the flip side. Yeah, not all sports are ball sports.

        Like I said, I’m a BMX flatlander, which isn’t even motor powered. You’re thinking of MX, Motocross, a bit above my skill and nerve level.

        But hey, to each their own, I just never found interest in playing with balls LMFAO!

    This isn’t a problem for me. I just block out those instances. Also I swap to the everything feed every so often to find new communities to sub to, then usually go back to subscription feed.

      Exactly. I’m too lazy to set filters and what not, but I just know what I’m getting into for the All feed. I deal with that until I can’t take it, add a few communities, and retreat back to the safety of Subscribed.
