I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.

I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    There is no algorithm.

    Are you looking at the feed of everything that is posted on your instance?

      Technically, “show all posts in reverse chronological order” is an algorithm :P

      (I know what you mean, and I agree overall, but I couldn’t resist the silly nitpick about semantics!)

        Since we are nitpicking: “show all posts in reverse chronological order” is not an algorithm, it’s a description of an outcome of an algorithm. The algorithm is the specific steps the computer needs to take to make it so. There can be different algorithms that sort posts chronological, all with the same outcome.
