It’s not even enjoyable for me because it’s literal spam posts. It’s like the old school sex phone commercials. Doesn’t matter what the hot girl is doing or saying in the commercial, just put my show back on.

I’m not even that old (no offense) and I do that too. I’ll use apps if it doesn’t collect any data, and preferably FOSS, like Voyager. Anyways, thanks for the tip, I’ll log in on browser for my instance blocking needs.
Edit: jk, according to another comment, it’s not available on lemmy.world at the moment. Soon though.
My reasoning is that the people should be the “mods” essentially. If one community gets blocked by the majority of the people, then it might as well not exist. It will eventually die out through not enough people upvoting/downvoting, commenting, and basically interacting with them at all. The “any publicity is good publicity” saying applies to anything on the Internet.
This is another instance I would like to block. The onlyfans brigade is strong on lemmy.
Did you do it through an app or browser?
Block whole communities. That’s what I started doing. There’s one instance that I would like to block but that feature isn’t available yet as far as I’m aware. Reddit was the same way around 10 years ago, it’s been pruned and censored to the point where it’s more appealing to the average worldwide user. I don’t want that to happen to Lemmy; not to sound dismissive, but utilize your block list instead of calling for more/better mods.
I just dropped Sync. I’ve used it for reddit since the app came out. Even paid for the premium version years ago. My purchase didn’t carry over to the lemmy version, and I noticed the app collects data for marketing now. Switched to Voyager, it’s not as fluid as Sync but I’ll get used to it.
We’re the ones keeping this ship afloat.
Who is this commander and why is he is fucking around with my downloads?
OP seems to have plenty of time creating and posting memes.
You’re saying it like it’s an inaccessible skill. Time + practice = unlock new ability. edit: sp
I don’t prefer to be called “a little bitch”. My preferred term is dude.
It’s about 1/76th the height of a Big Mac from McDonald’s.
Use Sync! I used it for years for reddit. They had to shut down with the other third party apps, but they just came back with Lemmy.
I started lurking here back when Sync shut down for reddit. I noticed that I haven’t seen the terms “chaotic good”, “feedback loop”, or “play stupid games…” used incorrectly/excessively here. Not to mention the one word, all caps, comments that have 1k+ upvotes for some reason.
I think he’s talking about similar communities from different instances. Like “books” on lemmy.world is separate from “books” on lemmy.ml. So people will end up migrating to the larger one for more users to share with. I feel like it’s not a big deal since I can subscribe to all of them while being on a single instance.
I liked the fake internet points, but it definitely leads to karma whoring. So I’ll do without.
My hope is that if enough people block an instance, it’ll just die out over time from not enough interaction.
