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?

Sports communities.

I hate how many pop up post 3 things a day for a month then disappear. Bloats the hell out of my block list.

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“

You realize sports communities usually keep to themselves. Oh no your block list it's bloated. Sounds like it's working

I wasn't trying to have a dig or offend communities. We all have very valid interests that others dislike. Please don't take it personal. I am often told i am blunt so this is meant with a lighthearted intent, and see it more as a conversation rather than a negative.

Says me that states in the OP that i 'hate...'

Until one team losses and the winning team starts tolling or bridging the losing team, or there is a sport ball event and its plastered everywhere, or someone is banned from world so they make a new community on zip or piefed or db0.

I wish people would limit US politics to comms designated for that, rather than forcing the rest of us to wade through that filth looking for world news. It's already all over every other news source.

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.

It's because someone thinks "My team can have a community here!" And they try, they post stuff and try to get the fans together to talk about the team and sport they love.

But if there's minimal engagement, they eventually give up.

Asking what people don't want serves no function since you have no way to prevent it anyhow, it only serves to give trolls inspiration.

The +200 of them that I have blocked.

I thought that at first but the truth is stuff is starting to migrate over and is appearing in communities such as this one or news etc. I would rather it was added but added in the right place. Then it gives the individual control to block.

I don't think it can be stopped and conversations and management are better thought of in advance.

I think my title could be less baity.

Lemmy is my only news source LOL

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.

Controversial, but fauxbait. It means "fake jailbait". Jailbait, of course, refers to lewd pictures of underage girls. So fauxbait is women who are of the age of majority, but strive to look as young as possible. They shave and wax, they don't eat as much as they should, and they're generally short to boot, so it looks like you're looking at a middle school kid, but it's really someone who can drink at the bar in America (21+).

Especially since Lemmy is so big on exposing the people in the Trump-Epstein files who are trafficking and abusing young women and girls, I don't want to see people posting fauxbait. It makes the whole fediverse look bad. Like we don't care about the girls, we only wanna take down the billionaires, and we only pretend to care about their extracurricular activities because it's ethical leverage.

I guess if you're 17-20, these girls are fine to you, but I'm pushing 50 and have nieces and nephews who are older than that. I like seeing grown women as much as the next guy, but if my first thought is, "she needs to put something on," she's probably too young (or is trying to look that way) and that's something I don't wanna see.

I think this one is very pertinent, I don't see a lot of fauxbait here but I get frustrated at the Anime when some of it skirts with similar issues. I know its a cartoon but it still perpetuates it, and it seems acceptable to portray sexualised youth because ya know it's just cartoon culture (yeh its not). The normalisation in so many areas is horrible to see.

The other aspect you have to consider in the fedi vs typical sites is instances. It's entirely possible to have the same community name in several instances and the flavor of them be wildly different depending on the instance culture and mods.

Any of that maggat shit

The best thing about Reddit is that it lets you mute any community you don't like, and you can even block notifications and your timeline from giving you recommendations or suggestions altogether. So honestly, with all these features, Idk how anyone could still have a problem with certain communities existing!

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!

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.

I love the twist!

anything to do with promoting violence against minorities. that was something reddit defended as "freedom of speech"

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.

Keyword filters work pretty well for this. I have keyword filters for Trump, Musk, Boebert, RFK, and I couldn't give a flying fuck about if Mitch McConnell is dead or not.

Does this also apply to /c/femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone

create this community pls if this doesnt exist yet

Relationship drama on Lemmy, a space even nerdier than Reddit? Would be a ghost town. 😬

That place seems innocuous and quite funny, I don't think it applies. TwoXChromosomes is way more toxic, lol.

You can’t block any community you don’t like on reddit because there’s a limit on the number you can mute. I know this because I hit that limit before I deleted my account.

Exactly this! I left Reddit after I’ve reached this limit too, couldn’t even block porn anymore, what a failure.

Billionaires are a minority ...

the political people here will argue with you how the shape of your poo is a political act and determines your 'team'.

for a lot of people US politics is the only thing that gives their life meaning.

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.

Honestly, I didn't know that there was a limit! That's going to be annoying for people who don't want to see certain subreddits, but at the same time don't want to isolate themselves like me!

It took me a while to figure out. I had a bad habit of scrolling r/popular for (effectively) infinite content, and I tried trimming it down to just stuff I liked by muting communities until one day it started giving me a simple error when I’d try to mute something. I searched around after a while and that’s when i found out about the limit. Reddit itself says nothing about the limit existing anywhere.

Yeah, I have keywords for the usual suspects as well, but that requires them to be mentioned by name in the title, and it doesn't cover US politics not involving those.

Most any community dedicated to reposting content from another site, especially if it's automated.

Simply reposting things from Reddit or feeding something like hackernews directly to a community is not helpful, and doesn't really inspire discussion. It just adds more noise that people have to sort out

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.

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...

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.

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.

because you can still be targeted/reported/harassed by those people and their communities.

blocking/muting might give you peace of mind, but it doesn't isolate you from the negative externalities those communities bring with them towards you or other users/communities.

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.

I don't want to see 'explain the joke' communities.

Some jokes are meant to be inside jokes, do your own research it takes a few secs, and the communities just become repost farms.

Yep so hard to scroll past. Wow there's a lot of butthurt people here

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.
