Yeah, I have blocked hexbear & numerous weird gay/fetish porn communities. Make sure you're logged in. Click on the post & navigate to the community....then...towards the top before all the posts, there's a bunch of options. One being to 'block'. I have to scroll to find it.
It should be noted I use Sync for Lemmy. You may or may not have this on your render/UI. Should be able to block.
I also use sync. And i also use the option to block certain words in titles. If you use this list, your feed gets a lot less toxic. Don't judge me from this list, it works for me and a lot less first world problems.
Haha, "America" 😂
Thanks for the advice! I think I'll follow suit.
I think a lot of these things are further reaching problems than first world 😅
Kinda true :)
I come to lemmy because I have time to relax, not to get all hyped up like you. If I want to stay informed I read articles, not people's opinion.
Why would I block you for giving your opinion? We just use lemmy for different purposes.
I used to be central but now I tend towards the right because the left are ruining everything in my country (Belgium). I used to be political but I realized nothing changes when you vote because:
There is this rule here were they won't allow any right party to be in the government. But the 2 biggest parties are right. To exclude them they form a coalition of every other party in order to outnumber the 2 biggest but they barely have majority. Knowing these coalition partners don't see eye to eye and fight amongst each other over the littlest things makes Belgium un-governeable.
I will add this chart to show how many rival parties are currently (fighting) in control and how fragile this majority is. If a party doesn't get their agenda pushed they threaten to leave the coalition and leave the rest outnumbered leaving us without a government. This result in conflicting and idiotic policies.
54% of our monthly paycheck goes to taxes to support this monstrous coalition, they don't deserve it.
It suppose to be democracy, in theory it is, but practically it doesn't work. Because when the green party with 8 of the 60 seats dictates policy and the coalition just bends over for the sake of keeping majority (and obviously their pay check), that isn't democracy.
So when I browse lemmy, I want none of this.
I hate extreme right, but I hate the left more for what they've done to this place. So the only position I can take is just normal right. I'd like to be neutral but I just can't anymore.
I filtered lgbt because my daughter is trans. Believe me when I tell you that the lgbt (online) community is nothing like lgbt real life people. Trans people just want to be treated equal, no special attention required, no dragging, priding or rainbow flags. She says you give people with a mental disability special attention, so she thinks it is an insult if you do. I follow her stance so I blocked lgbt.
I don't talk about politics because other people get angry. Actually like you did in your first respond :p
"Believe me when I tell you that the lgbt (online) community is nothing like lgbt real life people. Trans people just want to be treated equal, no special attention required, no dragging, priding or rainbow flags. "
You absolutely and totally misunderstand what drag, pride, and rainbow flags are all about.
It is not at all about wanting special attention, and you further show your ignorance by making such a statement.
Also, just because you know someone who happens to be LGBT, doesn't mean their personal views and perspective on things is totally valid for everyone else who is LGBT.
You're either trolling, or you don't realize how much of an asshole you actually are.
In sync you can block entire instances, no need to block every single community...
