For me it’s the Linux and Star Trek stuff. I’m curious to what communities you find annoying enough to block.

    All the tankie (far “left”) shit. It’s all either bad faith arguments (trolling), blatant propaganda or people who never bothered to fact check the propaganda.

    They also create an inordinate amount of communities, had to use the “block instance” button a lot.

    NSFW stuff also gets annoying after a while, but that seems less prevalent. (Just had to block one instance to get 99%)

    Looking at my block list, the AI images and niece music stuff also got added at some point.

      Tankie is far left? I thought it was far right. I admit I never really was sure, though.

      If you’re in America, do you see the entire rest of the g-20 as really far left? They do free healthcare and schooling in the g-20 but require almost as much tax as America, and I’m wondering if that makes them appear really far left given America’s parties are center-right and far-right and everyone could have that as their point of view.

        I mostly see tankies as an authoritarian (far right?) group pretending to be far left. Or at least that’s how they brand it, even though they openly advocate for government confiscation of all property.

            Half of this comment section is people who probably consider themselves “centrist” but shriek tankie and block anybody even an inch left of biden. 🤣

              Half of Lemmy, I would say. There’s a bimodal distrubution on Lemmy, centering around Leftism and Liberalism, with variance among those.

          Who knows how many are active, but yeah it’s really bad. I’ll be power scrolling All for random porn (I see something blurred out), I click on it, oh fuck, my eyes. Lol

          Some of these names, too. It makes me laugh. “Welcome to… Gay Fisting”. 😆
