  • I see what you’re saying. Lemmy isn’t as big as Reddit… but it’s still also somewhat huge for a mere mortal to play whack-a-mole on an individual basis. Let me paint a scenario. As I mentioned I don’t want to see “Sports” related communities. Cool. Theoretically I’d block a tag of “sports”. That’s basically saying I don’t want to see THOSE communities (a MASS whack-a-mole if you will).

    But lets do the inverse a whitelist approach instead. I’m interested in Science, Art, and say Games. There’s no way for me to for me to subscribe to a topic tag either at this point to only show me stuff relevant to my interests.

    Imgur, for instance, lets me filter in and out loads of specific tags from my feed (also specific use posts).

    I guess I have the answer though to my query that it isn’t possible since there is only 1 tag so far and it’s for NSFW content.









  • Ahhh 90’s TV… So there was a lot of issues during the 90’s when it came to scripts. One of the issues was that TV Execs now acknowledged the existence of women but they weren’t to sure what to “do” with them. You can see this in many many shows but one of the things that pops up is you might have a strong female character that has a few really good episodes or seasons but at some point the writing flips to they want to get pregnant and married (not saying either is bad but when it comes out of left field a bit it’s clearly just tacked on plot).

    The reason I bring the above up is that much of Trek (even TNG) women are treated in many plots as merely props in a narrative to move a story forward not as actual characters. Unfortunately this is also why the Federation seems so blasé to how they’re treated, because they’re not fully treated as a proper character. So, hilariously, the execs of the time (and writers) are somewhat caricatures of their own creations, the Ferengis.
