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.

    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.

      Yeah agreed, I had to do it too for French and German stuff, I wish I could read whatever they’re posting but I can’t so I just block it but mean no offense.
