Question to people who block communities, how many? What's your criteria? I, uhhh, block a measly 586 communities.

My criteria is as follows:

  • nuked nearly all meme ones
  • nuked meta ones for instances outside of mine, as I find my ingerence unfair
  • nuked meta ones for countries I've no past with and no interest in making future with
  • nuked soft porn / porn ones from .world
  • nuked duplicate communities from instances which block many instances, so I get most diversity of opinions since they crosspost anyway
  • blocked AI art communities
  • generally anything related to AI, crypto and other topics I don't have any interest in
  • blocking all/near-all image and video oriented communities, because I'm here for engagement, not browsing images and most definitely not for videos

I'm very pro curating my own experience, as you may see. It's quite slow, but at least I seldom get things I don't want to check out, apart from some posts from technology.

    Zero.

    I'm subscribed to ~120 comms so I usually browse by "Subscribed". Browsing by "All" is infrequent enough to not bother me with local comms, plus contrariwise to plenty posters here I don't mind seeing content in multiple languages.
