1. Subscribe to the communities you want content from.
2. Use “Subscribed” view instead of “All” or “Local”.

POV : You’re on lemmy to watch tha porn

I’m actually on a SFW instance. I’m here for news (excluding US R vs. D “news”) and fringe hobbies.

Allow me to let you in on a little secret: having fringe hobbies is pretty much the nerdiest thing ever. And guess what: that’s a GOOD thing!

So maybe be less of a judgmental hypocrite about what OTHER people like? 🤷

where was OP judgemental? Don’t tell me you’re offended by the inclusion of the word “shit” after “nerdy”, when you just cast “nerdy” in such a bright light, and we all know only simple minds are offended by curse words. so, what was judgemental?

VikingHippie, 10 months ago

Bragging about blocking everything they deem nerdy IS some very judgmental vice signalling lol.

That’s why they changed it to “tech stuff”, which doesn’t even make sense when you consider that American news and politics are amongst the topics blocked 🙄

superkret, 10 months ago

Oof. I’ve had a couple communities blocked, cause I don’t want to hear about Trump.
Then I thought “hey I’m not interested in tech, anime or furry stuff, I’ll just block related communities as they pop up”
Then I noticed that this is a never-ending endeavour on lemmy, which I wanted to meme about.
I memed badly and here we are.

my block list is equally long apparently fucking way bigger lmao holy shit me (notice the scroll bar on right)

Ah ok, guess I overreacted then, sorry about that… Intent and inflection can be difficult to gauge in the written words of strangers and pobody’s nerfect 🤷

Ubermeisters, 10 months ago

Ok, so, be in their shoes, try to list all those different types of communities, effectively? They generalized, its what we do when we dont want to make a sub-scope of a complaint the focus of the complaint.

VikingHippie, 10 months ago

Yeah, I read too much into it, I admit. Was in a bad argument on another community earlier and I kinda got stuck in fight mode. Sorry about that!

Must be no content. :)

im not content without content

I’m into nerdy shit, but idgaf about linux, programming, furry shit, porn, or locale communities. So i guess its just news, politics, technology, and memes for days, for me. not much nerdy shit that I’m into is actually actively represented here, but I’m thinking that will change with time. I already started my own image editing community, since thats a hobby that I enjoy quite a bit. Hasn’t exactly taken off yet haha but these things take time. I was enjoying the atheist meme community but the mod banned me and I can’t figure out why. Wont respond to my inquiries either. probably a former reddit mod who misses being a cunt for no reason.

I’m now wondering if my post would have also been drowned in downvotes if I went with “not interested in tech, anime and furry stuff”, which is what I actually meant.

By the way, what’s your image editing community? I’m interested in that, too.

Ubermeisters, 10 months ago

maybe, but lemmy is really fickle from what I’ve seen. FWIW i’ve upvoted your post, i think its relevant

You seem to misunderstand what the internet is all about: youtu.be/j6eFNRKEROw
