I'm up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don't see the point of. I've got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

Thankfully I never see that crap, but will block on sight.

I just blocked Politics.

I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.

It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.

I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.

I'd say go for it. Political discussion on Lemmy is just inflammatory hot garbage, your sanity will thank you for staying away.

I don't mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.

I might have to block Lemmy.ml because these fuxking tankies are getting on my last nerve.

That's not a community mate? I mean they are, but it's an instance. btw you should check out hexbear to really lose your nerve.

Basically anything political, anything not in English, and anything that starts with "Fuck xyz" because those communities are always toxic as hell.

i've been here for 15 minutes as a refugee from reddit. i immedialtely got the "fuck cars" (community?) in my feed. i did not like their dislike of cars.

Are you sure they weren't lovers of cars/cussy?
