I have so many of these blocked lol.

I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.

And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

Pretty much the only stuff I unsubscribe to is tech or politics subs

Same, same.

Either my instance updated recently, or I didn’t notice it at the bottom of the block page. So useful thank you!!! No more lemmynsfw spam!

Being able to block entire instances from your feed, without defederating.

Frankly, smart TVs are a stupid product for stupid people. I would never have one in my house, period.

Why is this reply have negative score lol… the answer is simple anyway: stop fucking buying smart TVs!

I see what you’re saying, I think that other commenters are misinterpreting what it is that you are trying to say. I certainly was.

Changing the algorithm would probably be implemented as a version update which all instances would eventually need to adopt, or be left behind in features & security patches.

Allowing people to game your algorithm to keep their content higher is not a good thing. It made reddit unbearable (thankfully we have Local feed on Lemmy), twitter, etc. It is why YouTube (as far as genuinely informative videos go) is circling the drain.

And yet, by the numbers, it is basically the fediverse (like literally ~88% of active users are on mastodon!).

I guess it must not be as bad as you make it out to be then?

What’s moronic is advocating for the enshittification of a platform.

They did that in my hometown… :^)

Sure, I agree, but you do realize where the highway went in this picture, right? It’s still there…

Edit: Cease fire! Friendly fire!!! FrieNDLY FIIIIREEEE!!!

Yea, I don’t want to sound like I’m arguing here, but there is a generally negative vibe that is being replicated here on lemmy as it was on reddit:

• Too many Elon Musk twitter posts
• Too much climate change doom & gloom
• Too much political doom & gloom

The toxicity is already here when you browse “All.” I’ve just blocked most of the offending communities for a better experience. The list grows longer every day… but that’s just my opinion. I think we can all agree that browsing “All” is like playing mental health on nightmare mode.

There is a lot of toxicity that I don’t want here…

It already is… :(
