Have LꝏꝏꝏTs communities blocked , but noteworthy types :

Most (meme|shitpost|news) communities . Oversaturation from seemingly homogenous threadiverse userbase
- (Meme|shitpost) content dœsn't lend itself well to conversations (which's what am here for) IMO . If I wanted those I'd just browse tumblr oar some thing
- Prefer getting my news elsewhere
"(Cringe|Trashy)"-adjacent communities . Thankfully not many exist
All (.*)(girl|babe)s NSFW communities , don't like seeing photorealistic imgs of conventionally attractive women

As far's instances , only one can remember 🏧's hilariouschaos bcus TERF community on there I think

Sports and Linux.

I have no interest in sports.

I also have no interest in Linux, I have installed and used Linux around ten years ago. If and when I need Linux I'll just go to the mainstream internet or just unblock them and join. But for now no.

games I don't play but which tend to clutter All by being highly posted/active (Hololive, Honkaistarrail, etc.)
"stop drinking" related comms because they were too frequent in the feed, I already stopped drinking because I'm too old and cranky to deal with hangovers, and a lot of them were giving me creepy cult vibes tbh
"witchesvspatriarchy" and related because I find that kind of humor snobby and grating
a few other women/feminism related comms. I'm a lesbian who struggles with internalized misogyny, I'll fully admit that. But some of these posts are unhinged misandry and a lot of them are just depressing to read and probably not good for my mental health

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Nothing. I go through my feed raw and unfiltered .ml, hexbear, and everything

[–] TinyLittlePuni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

None yet! Are there any I should be wary of?

I have to ask why sports? Surely there is some sport you are interested in.

I've recently discovered I've been lying to myself on baseball, and how much I loved the game as a kid and I regret not pursuing it after highschool all because of the mlb strikes in the 90s. I just stopped watching and participating. For me and a lot of people during that time I guess the mindset was, I work in the heat all day, not just for 3 hours and those players are bitching about the millions they make aren't enough. There's some truth to that but it completely blinded me to what I loved, now I'm to old to even compete in men's slow pitch leagues

Since my daughter is now playing softball, just playing catch and working with her on pitching has made me truly realize how great the game is, the feel of the glove, the sound of the bat cracking, or the sound of a fastball hitting a glove.

For a game that's been played as much for so long and there are still records being broken or first time for something is truly amazing.

My interest in football is at a all time low, no longer follow NFL, but still love college even though it's becoming a shadow of its former self.

And volleyball is peaking because of my daughter as well

Mostly murican politics, politics memes, trump/musk stuff (it's like playing whac-a-mole), some anime and furry stuff.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

None, although there's an ADHD sub that pops up often that is annoying and ive comsidered blocking it

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 month ago (11 children)

None. I can handle other ideas and opinions just fine.
