dont really care for the medium anymore, plus I just never liked looking and the stuff that looks like pedo shit. wouldn’t care if it was like once a day but there’s literally ten new ones i have to block every single day also not quite happy about browsing my sfw app in public and suddenly a half naked loli landing on my screen.

    I’ve blocked the whole instance ani.social and since then I don’t get softcore anime tits anymore.

    Was a tough choice because instances usually host a ton of other communities and users but it just became unbearable like you mentioned.

    edit: a side-effect is that users from a blocked instance replying to your comments will not show up in your inbox. Figured I should mention that so you can weigh the pro’s and con’s

    I just blocked ani.social

    That won’t work if you do want some anime content, but I don’t get any moe communities anymore

    I’m not sure what you mean exactly… Just looked in my block list and I’ve blocked yiffit.net and like 6 or so anime communities, and I don’t remember the last time I had anime in my all feed.

    At this point there are so many of them, its literally just spam. Also, a lot of the time it’s very NSFW stuff that doesn’t get flagged at all.

    It really isn’t that much IMO. You’ll get used to blocking more. Don’t keep scrolling and just block what you don’t want while being respectful of others that do like it. I have somewhere around 300 blocked communities in nearly 2 years all for various reasons. This ain’t reddit. No one is manipulating you for retention, but no one is tailoring and babying you either. It takes a little effort to prune the list. Most if not all of this is on reddit too, but you were less targeted by it there, assuming that is where you come from. It took me awhile to adjust to this mentality. Now I am not bothered at all by simply blocking each community. There are not more than a dozen or so people regularly posting anime stuff that I can see from my account on LW.

      Thank you. I wish I had the same audacity to smuggly correct native anglophones botching my language with their colonizers pig noises but alas, I am too patient.
