How many communities are you blocking?

I'm up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don't see the point of. I've got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with "Fuck xyz" because those communities are always toxic as hell.

My own philosophy is that if a community can only be described with negative values it will ultimately be a shitty community.

Anything that starts with anti- or fuck noun even if I agree with them is a instant block for me.

Dude I agree so much. Because I've fallen for the trap of thinking "oh yeah, I support being against that too, fuck it!"

But then slowly realize that even if I support being anti whatever, the community itself is just filled with negativity and hate. Justifiable or not, it's always an emotional drag, so yeah, best to just cut it out of my life, I don't need it.

i've been here for 15 minutes as a refugee from reddit. i immedialtely got the "fuck cars" (community?) in my feed. i did not like their dislike of cars.
