Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?
Those are the fun parts...
Porn: there's so much of it on here. If I didn't block most of it, it'd be half my feed
Sports: I simply do not give a shit about the stats of some cricket game I didn't know about
Anime: I'm frankly just sick of the art style that so much of it shares. I don't dislike anime as a rule but for a lot of shows, you could drop any character into another anime and they'd fit right in. And on top of that, I can't stand the hyper sexualization of immature female characters that is so prevalent in the genre. I don't think middle schoolers are hot so I don't like when "sexy" characters act like one
Sure! Your reasons are valid and I'm not asking you to defend them.
I certainly don't like everything in any of those categories either. I've got slices I'm into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.
Interesting. Here on lemmy.ml, none of the porn shows up, because I guess, it's blocked at the instance level. Unfortunately, I do still get horny anime posts every so often...
Lemmynsfw must not be federated with lemmy.ml and that's where it's concentrated so that makes sense. Horny anime posts are an instant block for me and I think I've taken care of most of them. I usually just see the -moe communities pop up now.
Nope, porn sport and anime bore me to tears... all blocked, plus a bunch of hyper-regional communities (sorry, Seattle, I'm in Europe, so the internal affairs of your city have little interest to me). I also had to block c/India because it kept getting pushed into my /all list.
I actually really like the regional communities lol
I know a lot about Bedfordshire now!
Yeah, same about c/india. It kind of annoys me, because I would have been interested in some of their culture, food etc., but it was just a ton of posts and mostly about politics...
Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.
I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I'm hella interested in but don't get much play here. There's basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.
Each day i feel too normie for this place
I'm not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,
