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?
You must log in or register to comment.
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“
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.
Love how the top comment is off topic. Classic Reddit
The question op asked is a legitimate one, and I deliver the solution to the whole problem. Instead of being frustrated from communities I can simply block them.
I do block and I’m getting better at it.
What’s prompted the question for me has been:
Relationship drama in ask lemmy
Celebrity crap in newsThat’s just 2 there has been more. In R they would have been in defined spaces that I ignore. Here people don’t know where to put them so it’s usually a generic but common community. This has had me thinking what do I hope does not start appearing.
Still curious though. what one community DON’T you want to see here? Unlease your gripe, we all have them.

Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.
Republican oxygen can stay on some other planet.
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.
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.
fuck ‘engaging’ to ‘content’ though
selling crack is the best way to get quick buck! The most desperate folk are the ones you get the most money from. And getting them addicted and dependent on you is the point.
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.
Lemmy is my only news source LOL
Top stories tonight on the Meme O’clock News…
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.
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.
God damn I know, like you can’t even escape it even in meme communities. The worst is the meme community posts that are literally just news posts in screenshot form. I don’t fucking care, how is a screenshot of something an American politician said on Facebook or Twitter funny?
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.
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.
I would propose that someone just make a conservative instance if they feel motivated enough to do so and then other instances can defederate according to what they feel is necessary.
Does this also apply to /c/femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Are you for real suggesting it’s the same lol? That’s a satirical com that even me as a cis man finds funny
Edit: half the posts are just hyper horny transfem lesbian memes too so I don’t even know how you’d be offended by it
I had to go check when you said ‘as a cis man’. I thought blaja was just some meme comm. Huh.
No, it’s great
That place seems innocuous and quite funny, I don’t think it applies. TwoXChromosomes is way more toxic, lol.
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.
Exhibit A: Callous disregard for human life
Exhibit B: Glamorizing murder
Exhibit C: Promoting sloth and laziness
Exhibit D: Openly admitting to spreading disinformation
Is THIS the sort of extremist, radicalizing content you want to see on the fediverse?
I DEMAND to see more photos of Femcel Memes!
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.
It’s basically girlfailures rather than femcels
depends on how you perceive of things. my experience of femcels is a lot of hostility and toxic behaviors.
but i don’t think women are inherently weak or harmless, which if you do, would color how you interpret things, and is the default bias most folks have.
*femcels are indeed as you described.
The femcelmemes community, as I said, is tongue in cheek and makes fun of femcels.
Important distinction.
Meanwhile femboys:
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!
I liked seeing AITA posts on bestofredditupdates. we can’t have that without first having an AITA comm. So i support the creation of an AITA community
+1
create this community pls if this doesnt exist yet
What would it be called?
It would need quite specific rules. I’m not creating it however I do worry about those kind of things.
I set up a guest tv and I felt really bad having to explain I use dedicated tv boxes and don’t want to tv connected to the internet. I was tempted to make a guide. I argued with myself it was an unreasonable expectation on my visitors.
I love the twist!
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.
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.
I spend enough time playing whack-a-mole on my various platforms now that I might as well call it a hobby.
Yeah but this is how it should be. Too many poeple expect the feed to curate itself for them and we know how that ends up.
I block communities I have not interest in. So I don’t want any real limits on whats created.
Yea, there is already a lot of subs I don’t like, but… I have chose. An instance which is a little selective and block the rest. I also block spammy people with low tolerance.
So far it works nicely.
yeah and its nothing against the communities. sometimes its just not my thing. Even with users it might not be that bad a person but they just grate on me. With the fediverse I decided to throw out many of the internet conventions and treat it like I would real life.
Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I’m probably ok without that one.
I think there was a sub that was called /r/jailbait as well.
The fact that Reddit became mainstream after all that vile shit thriving on that platform is nothing short of insane.
They were both created and moderated by violentacrez.
Anything centered around video.
communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general
repost communities
communities that promote generated content
any sub rewriting history.
Alternate history literature / media communities would be nice, though.
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.
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.
It’s definitely discouraging. Getting to the point that the median post on !nwsl@lemmy.world was above zero took like 2-3 years – I’m not surprised the vast majority of posters don’t slog through.
For over a year it was only me posting in !womenshockey@reddthat.com with almost no interaction.
I started following the nwsl because of your post’s and community. I do not have time to watch games, but I b dope among because of you.
Wow thanks for posting about this. I recently got into it since the spirit are local to me.
I hope to see you over in our community! It’s not a lot but I think we have fun.
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…’
Yeah people need to warm up to the “block community” feature, it’s not meant to be insulting, just another filter
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.
Lol I sub to two sports subs. I don’t see any others on lemmy in my feed and even the ones I’m subbed to barely show up
Yep so hard to scroll past. Wow there’s a lot of butthurt people here
I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand
Humans were not designed to endure this 24/7 flood of miserable shit happening all over the world, which you can’t have an effect on anyway.
It’s often better to engage with it in a controlled manner, at least in my opinion, especially if you’re already suffering from multiple severe mental health disorders like me, even without these things making it A LOT worse.
Yeah. Out of curiosity what does that help? Have you solved some problem that plagues the world? People don’t have to be bombarded with how shit the world always is.
Being on niche platforms kinda makes forces you into accepting being around weirdos and fascists. You get used to it. It kinda makes me feel good knowing I’m better tbh
Im one of those people. You seem angry about the concept. Is it morally acceptable to have any facet of life that doesnt revolve around the very real terrors that we cant stop?
anything to do with promoting violence against minorities. that was something reddit defended as “freedom of speech”
Billionaires are a minority …
That’s a very reductive meaning of word minority.
Minority doesn’t just quantity. You can have large quantities of slaves and they are still the minority in a world where money=power.
Billionaires are not at risk of disenfranchised by someone with more power eg: money. In a world that benefits those with money with power.
They don’t have their lives literally at risk over not being able to pay a medical bill. Or eat.
Billionaires benefit from social economic oppression.
Billionaires are social economic oppression.
That’s not what minority means. What you’re talking about is marginalized groups
And you’re making my original point, : stop punching them
Syntax whining is just to derail and and further marginalizing by pulling focus. This is the exact shit that needs to stop by you closet racists
They don’t have their lives literally at risk
Which is exactly the issue such a community would be addressing.
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…
Yeah, you might even find people on here celebrating John Brown or the French resistance in WWII. The horror!
I don’t understand anything of what you just said.
yeah, I notice that when you confront folks on lemmy about the hypocrisy of their beliefs they pretend to be dumb, or just call you names.
it’s funny how violence is totally cool here, as long as the person calling for it doesn’t feel like they would be subjected to it.
