My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

    Good to know! I didn’t want to miss out on @[email protected] comments, but now I won’t have to worry about it.

      I did. Those usernames are too distracting and shout “look at me!”, so I’m filtering all of them.

        I totally agree. Before I found the option to disable custom display names, I found that guy insufferable…2024 equivalent of xXxUSERNAMExXx. I don’t think I’ve noticed him since, though I’m sure I’ve read his comments
