I will start by saying I have toyed with posting this because as soon as someone says they don’t wanna see it, someone will make a community for it. However I feel like some of the stuff that makes Reddit annoying is creeping over. And just because I don’t like it does not mean its not a valid community. So if it is least put in the right place (rather that the bigger generic communities) I can then just filter or block it.
Ill start I don’t want to see
- Am I the arsehole
- Relationship drama
- Celebrity worship/drama
So what communities DON’T you want to see here?

I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand
pretty much if its unfun, then it gets blocked, so like pretty much everything politics related, most things pertaining to real world drama, and the communities that solely exist to bash on so-and-so. they are often pretty negative.
we block a lot of stuff, heres a screenshot!
the reason we block stuff is simply that we’re here for fun, not really to dabble in politics and so forth. there are times and places we set aside for that, where we do put effort into activism work, but this place is one we seek enjoyment in.
please remember that happiness is a vital part of healthy being :)
things that could bring the server under investigation for illegal activities.
otherwise, I can block them.
any sub rewriting history.
Reddit used to have r/picsofdeadkids. I’m probably ok without that one.
Actual Republican spaces. They can stay the fuck on Reddit and Twitter.
Anything centered around video.
communities that rely on misogyny, racism, or prejudice in general
repost communities
communities that promote generated content
I have 0 patience for people who “don’t want to see that” on fedi. The whole concept behind fedi is to have a single connected web of every social media platform – the design and implementation is specifically intended to make space for literally everyone and everything. If you don’t like encountering something, it is incumbent on you to use the curation tools at your disposal to remove it from your feed – you have no right to try to remove it from fedi altogether.
Just because I’m saying I don’t want to see it doesn’t mean I don’t want you to see it. Let’s not get heated out the gate.
If this is straight out of the gate for you, I’m sincerely sorry your first comment you read on the matter was me getting heated. For me, this is approximately the 4 billionth thread about “how should we gatekeep fedi?” and I’m extremely over it, possibly to the extent that I react when “who should we gatekeep?” is only a small part of a larger conversation.
I block communities I have not interest in. So I don’t want any real limits on whats created.
Yea, there is already a lot of subs I don’t like, but… I have chose. An instance which is a little selective and block the rest. I also block spammy people with low tolerance.
So far it works nicely.
yeah and its nothing against the communities. sometimes its just not my thing. Even with users it might not be that bad a person but they just grate on me. With the fediverse I decided to throw out many of the internet conventions and treat it like I would real life.
I don’t want to see any Reddit communities. Anything worth emulating there died 10 or more years ago. I’d rather we came up with our own original communities with actual standards.
IMO the worst Reddit communities are the ones themed around other Reddit communities and posts. Best of XYZ, XYZ updates, XYZ drama, etc. They are designed to generate shit-tier rage commentary and they get reposted relentlessly. I miss the days when reposters would get attacked in the comments and mass downvoted.
I don’t want to see ‘explain the joke’ communities.
Some jokes are meant to be inside jokes, do your own research it takes a few secs, and the communities just become repost farms.
Communities that are about actively looking for things to get mad at. Cringe, lolcows, ragebait, etc. It’s not healthy and it quickly devolves into bullying.
that’s the majority of what drives people’s engagement on the entire internet.
the most angry folks are the most engaged and produce the most content. and bullying is the point.
selling crack is the best way to get quick buck! The most desperate folk are the ones you get the most money from. And getting them addicted and dependent on you is the point.
Most any community dedicated to reposting content from another site, especially if it’s automated.
Simply reposting things from Reddit or feeding something like hackernews directly to a community is not helpful, and doesn’t really inspire discussion. It just adds more noise that people have to sort out
I think the main thing there is not to just post links. repost the text of the source. Im don’t care if it reduces traffic to the other sites. not going to reduce my traffic and I aint gonna to to it. so put in text to converse about or I won’t be discussing it.
I’m tired of people dragging politics into literally everything. We give them communities to talk politics in. We give them some leeway to talk politics here and there. But for the life of them, they won’t shut the fuck up about ANYTHING political.
because that’s their worldview. ‘everything is politics’
and when you think that way, it’s a justification for being a total hypocritical ass who wants to lecture everyone else but gets ‘offended’ when they see politics they don’t agree with.
and their justification for violence and harassment towards others. they need you to be on the other team, so they can dismiss/hate/threaten you.
not so much community, but the general thing I can’t stand is the victim echo chamber mentality things.
it’s so bizarre to me. there is a lot of it here, and no matter if you block the communities the mentality is everywhere in every thread.
