My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    I’m heavy handed with blocking.

    I block all the major NSFW instances. Non-english speaking instances. A few of the terminally argumentative instances.

    Quite a few communities that cover topics or issues I don’t care to read about. And some that are low effort article spam pits.

    I block people that want to argue about substanceless nonsense, or try to low-effort goad me.

    Bots are also blocked in settings.

      That, plus all the obvious propaganda, dogmatic echo chambers, and people who misspell stuff voluntarily, or make extremely basic mistakes (“your wrong”, “its that”, “there logic”, etc) more than once.
