How many communities do you have blocked? (lemmy.world)

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?

Thought there would be more. But I block em as I see em.

The irony about "enough musk spam" is they're the ones spamming the most.

The second-to-last one made me actually laugh out loud. What the fuck is that title lol

Aboringdystopia is one of those communities that doesn't resemble its namesake at all. The subreddit had rules to match the theme but the Lemmy equivalent is just the same news articles of shitty things happening that appear on all the other news communities. They're so lax about what constitutes "a boring dystopia," it feels so lazy to me

From what I've heard, that was the idea behind the Enough Musk Spam community, that the spam could be posted there and people could block it.
But yeah, it's a bit counterintuitive...
