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.
things that could bring the server under investigation for illegal activities.
otherwise, I can block them.
Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.
Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I’m probably ok without that one.
any sub rewriting history.
Anything centered around video.
communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general
repost communities
communities that promote generated content
I block communities I have not interest in. So I don’t want any real limits on whats created.
Yea, there is already a lot of subs I don’t like, but… I have chose. An instance which is a little selective and block the rest. I also block spammy people with low tolerance.
So far it works nicely.
yeah and its nothing against the communities. sometimes its just not my thing. Even with users it might not be that bad a person but they just grate on me. With the fediverse I decided to throw out many of the internet conventions and treat it like I would real life.
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 gatekeeper 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.
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.
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.
Fuck no, I DO wanna see the Lemmy flavor of AM I THE ASSHOLE!
We’re all a bunch of older tech guys who regret how pro tech we were in the 00s or younger zoomers tryna “detox” from classic social media… or russian bots and creepy eastern europeans trying to convince be Black Arch should be my new daily driver. I WANT to see how you’re the asshole there!
Like my god, imagine it. Imagine the kinds of things we’d see. Like
“Am I (52m) the asshole for telling my wife (59f) she can’t use iPhone and telling her to use a dumbphone?”
Or some shit like
“Am I (20m) the asshole for telling my friends I’m not gonna make a tiktok account?”
my god, this would be glorious! I want it, I NEED IT, bro! I fucking NEED to see this shit!
I liked seeing AITA posts on bestofredditupdates. we can’t have that without first having an AITA comm. So i support the creation of an AITA community
create this community pls if this doesnt exist yet
I love the twist!
I don’t care because I can just block the community.
I use voyager webapp and blocking a community takes 3 seconds:
- you are in the „All“-tab
- you see a community you want to never see again
- you don’t have to enter the post or community, simply press and hold the community
- tap „block community“
This is the way. Everybody has different interests, that is what “subscribed” is for. I have no interest in Anime, Sports and Porn, but do I think people with those interests shouldn’t be here? No.
Love how the top comment is off topic. Classic Reddit
The question op asked is a legitimate one, and I deliver the solution to the whole problem. Instead of being frustrated from communities I can simply block them.
Any of the MGTOW/redpill/incel communities, as well as the communities posing as self improvement ones while feeding their new members directly into the redpill/incel pipeline.
I would propose that someone just make a conservative instance if they feel motivated enough to do so and then other instances can defederate according to what they feel is necessary.
Does this also apply to /c/femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
No, it’s great
That place seems innocuous and quite funny, I don’t think it applies. TwoXChromosomes is way more toxic, lol.
yeah, for me. i think any gender extremism should be banned and is toxic af.
people who get so wrapped up in their gender identity that they need to police or harass other people over theirs, is fucked up.
Exhibit A: Callous disregard for human life
Exhibit B: Glamorizing murder
Exhibit C: Promoting sloth and laziness
Exhibit D: Openly admitting to spreading disinformation
Is THIS the sort of extremist, radicalizing content you want to see on the fediverse?
I DEMAND to see more photos of Femcel Memes!
femcelmemes seems to be a very tongue in cheek community, based on what I’ve seen there. at best they roleplay the female equivalent of an incel to make fun of them.
It’s basically girlfailures rather than femcels
depends on how you perceive of things. my experience of femcels is a lot of hostility and toxic behaviors.
but i don’t think women are inherently weak or harmless, which if you do, would color how you interpret things, and is the default bias most folks have.
*femcels are indeed as you described.
The femcelmemes community, as I said, is tongue in cheek and makes fun of femcels.
Important distinction.
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, and folks are hostile about it. and most of the communities here built around their victim status turn it into a superiority complex about how they have magical powers and abilities that their ‘oppressors’ do not.
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.
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
They don’t have their lives literally at risk
Which is exactly the issue such a community would be addressing.
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…
Yeah, you might even find people on here celebrating John Brown or the French resistance in WWII. The horror!
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.
I don’t want to see any Reddit communities. Anything worth emulating there died 10 or more years ago. I’d rather we came up with our own original communities with actual standards.
IMO the worst Reddit communities are the ones themed around other Reddit communities and posts. Best of XYZ, XYZ updates, XYZ drama, etc. They are designed to generate shit-tier rage commentary and they get reposted relentlessly. I miss the days when reposters would get attacked in the comments and mass downvoted.
