I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!

      Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

        Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

          Block the instance

          Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

              I love anime and I’m subscribed on there but if you look at the list if so many came from one instance then just block that instance from the app, I think there might be on the profile. Like:

            I resent that.

            Please don’t go around commenting things that will make readers think “moe” means something it doesn’t.

            And we have different ideas of what “majority” means: !officemoe@ani.social, !thiccmoe@ani.social, !fitmoe@lemmy.world.

            My reasons for setting up the communities are explicitly non-pornographic, and even the quite sexy content is not the kind anyone faps to.

            Its about charachter art that is adorable and compelling in a way that provokes attachment. Not arousal, or at least not just that.

            The newest !smolmoe@ani.social specifically does not allow lewd content at all, even though it includes adult characters, because I know people like you would instantly make it weird.

            And it is weird, but not in the fucked up way you’re thinking of.

              What “vibe”? The only descriptive words this person used are “worst” and “loli” and the obvious extrapolation there is a beyond serius accusation.

              If you can acknowledge it’s not the “intent”, then why the fuck are you still “with” someone who seems to think that judging anime fans together with the absolute worst of humanity, is anywhere close to reasonable?

                I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

                I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

                You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

                  I know it’s an unfortunate reality for anime fans to be lumped in with pedos, and I shut it down the best I can wherever I find it. How the fuck did you get to an interpretation where I’m perpetrating that kind of thinking?

                  I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

                  If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken,

                  How can you hold those two views simultaneously? Those communities aren’t small, are you saying their entire userbases are the worst of the worst?

                  and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

                  What? If you think this, you’re wrong, if you don’t, you’re also wrong? Which is it?

                  Are you saying that I’m pushing the idea that NONE of them are pedos, as if I’m ignoring the probability that at least some of them are?

                  And it’s hardly “wierdly defensive” of me to speak up when I probably created most of the communities you’re shitting on.

                  And as that creator, I can straight up tell you, it’s not the “intent”.

          So just use that list as a resource for what to block?

        Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

        Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

          Are you actually checking the creation dates on the communities?

          Or are you just mad that there are a lot of them, and that people actually post to them, even months after they get created, and so you end up seeing a new one now and then.

          Because as one of the biggest anime content posters, “every couple weeks” is just not the case. There’s daily content but it’s from a definite group of subs that you absolutely can block.

          Here, I even have a list: https://ani.social/post/284178

              Because they are the communities main posters.

              If someone would pretend that I spam the All feed with new football communities every few weeks when it’s not the case, I would reply too

          On the other hand, imagine wanting to block Linux communities, it feels like every other day there’s a new one

          I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.
