I’ve found any discourse here is almost immediately met with deletions and bans. It’s just Reddit with harder-left slants, and even more trigger happy mods. The difference for me being that I get controls to block all of the communities that I don’t want to listen to. Unlike Reddit where you don’t really have the filtering options - Lemmy gives you the ability to block instances, communities, and users without some really artificially low cap like Reddit has.
I think the only thing that irks me, is that there’s a new lemmynsfw community every 30 seconds with someone posting some crazy outrageous kink and the web interface doesn’t let you block the community directly from the post on /all
There’s no distinction in NSFW topics either - whereas there should be NSFW (Porn) and NSFW (Gore), etc.

This really depends what instance you go to and what their standards of moderation are. If you’re not happy with your current instance admins / community moderators, then go to another instance or another community (or petition your current mods/admins to improve the situation).

Yes, mostly. Keep in mind that blocking communities and instances only affects which posts you see in their feed - the members of those communities and instances still get to vote on the other stuff that is in your feed and affect the post ranking in that way. The only way to avoid that is defederation.
new lemmynsfw community every 30 seconds
Wouldn’t an instance-level block fix this?

Tbf this is no different than Reddit and there’s a lack of support in the underlying protocol - it’s not entirely clear how this should be more generally implemented either. You probably want a more generalized tagging system, not just one additional category on top of NSFW.
Nah, it’s not really like that - I don’t focus on looking for that stuff. Seeing a naked woman or two in between my feed is no problem. Seeing a guy with a pickle jar up his ass and the entirety of his intestines through the transparent glass…not so much.

Who says I want to block everything from there? There’s no way to whitelist.
Right - perhaps an alternative user for your “scientific research” is an appropriate measure in that case? :P just a suggestion
