I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.
I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Instance blocking pawb.social and yiffit.net should get rid of most of it.
edit: to combat some misinformation in the thread below: Blocking instances will only block communities from that instance, you can still interact with the users on other communities.
As long as you’re on lemmy. Piefed does it stupidly.
Sure. But this is literally !asklemmy@lemmy.world
It’s the home instance of the account that matters. I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just adding a proviso.
That seems to have done the trick, thanks.
Note that that’s also going to block content from users from that instance, not just communities hosted on that instance.
I feel like when people choose an instance that has a deliberate “slant” you have to accept you may be blocked by folks who don’t want that.
Like everyone on .ml
Yeah, I can get that perspective. Just saying, as OP may not be aware of all of the effects of the block.
That is incorrect.
You are correct, thanks. Defederation does block users from an instance, but user-level instance blocks on Lemmy do not (though PieFed apparently has a separate user-level user block).
Yiffit.net has been dead for awhile, I thought?
I wouldn’t know, I have it blocked.
Damn we almost had them
Yeah, for a bit over a year I think
