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“

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.

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.

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.

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!

Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.

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.

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.

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.

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

I block communities I have not interest in. So I don't want any real limits on whats created.

Anything centered around video.

communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general

repost communities

communities that promote generated content

Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I'm probably ok without that one.

any sub rewriting history.

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.

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

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.

The +200 of them that I have blocked.

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.

things that could bring the server under investigation for illegal activities.

otherwise, I can block them.

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.

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.
