    Arachnophobics are certainly not amused about seeing more spider pics on Lemmy

      Almost every spider you see is harmless. There’s so many stereotypes about spiders pushed by movies to make them scary but they’re actually great house pets!

      They also keep the dust outside the area their cobwebs are in. If you see a dusty cobweb, that means it’s abandoned and you can clean it up.

      Then … don’t look at them? What’s the source of Internet Arrogance that says OTHER PEOPLE aren’t allowed to like things YOU are afraid of?

      Lemmy recently added a feature to block communities so that you don’t see them. You can click on your username, then “Settings”, “Blocks”, and put the spider community (or any other) into the list to block it. This way, no need to see spiders if you’re arachnophobic.
