For me it’s the Linux and Star Trek stuff. I’m curious to what communities you find annoying enough to block.

That’s just a hook and line, there’s no bait on there
I block the gay, male and trans nsfw communities. Im fully in support for their existence but its simply not the way I swing when I browse /all. that being said I hope those communities thrive and do well cause its really refreshing to see content for all.
TRANSPHOBE! BIGOT! RACIST! DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!!!1111!1!!1ONEONE
You’ll notice nobody is actually saying that. If they hadn’t added a disclaimer maybe someone would have, but swinging both ways has never been mandatory.
Lemmy.world not sending their best
I block every sport one that comes across my /all
Politics. If I wanted to be drenched in political propaganda from bot farms I’d have a Reddit account still.
Picking Lemmy over Reddit is a political choice to begin with, to be fair.
They are probably referring to the almost propaganda-esque two party politics that’s permeated almost every major sub on reddit with useless “gotcha” memes.
Still, on Lemmy it’s pretty much leftists vs liberals, vs reddit where it’s liberals vs fascists.
Which subs have fascists?
Pretty much every conservative-specific space, plus it’s overflowing with zionists and other genocide enthusiasts. I haven’t been on Reddit in years.
All the tankie (far “left”) shit. It’s all either bad faith arguments (trolling), blatant propaganda or people who never bothered to fact check the propaganda.
They also create an inordinate amount of communities, had to use the “block instance” button a lot.
NSFW stuff also gets annoying after a while, but that seems less prevalent. (Just had to block one instance to get 99%)
Looking at my block list, the AI images and niece music stuff also got added at some point.
Tankie is far left? I thought it was far right. I admit I never really was sure, though.
If you’re in America, do you see the entire rest of the g-20 as really far left? They do free healthcare and schooling in the g-20 but require almost as much tax as America, and I’m wondering if that makes them appear really far left given America’s parties are center-right and far-right and everyone could have that as their point of view.
I mostly see tankies as an authoritarian (far right?) group pretending to be far left. Or at least that’s how they brand it, even though they openly advocate for government confiscation of all property.
Have you ever spoken to a leftist?
Half of this comment section is people who probably consider themselves “centrist” but shriek tankie and block anybody even an inch left of biden. 🤣
Half of Lemmy, I would say. There’s a bimodal distrubution on Lemmy, centering around Leftism and Liberalism, with variance among those.
I don’t block any communities. I’m confused as to what the point of blocking communities is—are you browsing All? I only see posts from communities I’m subscribed to
are you browsing All?
And sorting by new, yes.
All porn.
All anime.
All communist fan clubs.
🤷 I just like shitposting
That’s what Twitter is for.
Linux users, like vegans, will tell you they use it even if you never ask
