Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

Block the instance

Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

So just use that list as a resource for what to block?

Those moe are the worst because the majority are borderline loli.

I resent that.

Please don’t go around commenting things that will make readers think “moe” means something it doesn’t.

And we have different ideas of what “majority” means: !officemoe@ani.social, !thiccmoe@ani.social, !fitmoe@lemmy.world.

My reasons for setting up the communities are explicitly non-pornographic, and even the quite sexy content is not the kind anyone faps to.

Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment. Not arousal, or at least not just that.

The newest !smolmoe@ani.social specifically does not allow lewd content at all, even though it includes adult characters, because I know people like you would instantly make it weird.

And it is weird, but not in the fucked up way you’re thinking of.

I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

On the other hand, imagine wanting to block Linux communities, it feels like every other day there’s a new one

I don’t mind the linux communities as much, but there are a lot of them too.

Are you actually checking the creation dates on the communities?

Or are you just mad that there are a lot of them, and that people actually post to them, even months after they get created, and so you end up seeing a new one now and then.

Because as one of the biggest anime content posters, “every couple weeks” is just not the case. There’s daily content but it’s from a definite group of subs that you absolutely can block.

Here, I even have a list: https://ani.social/post/284178

Why do you care so much?

I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
