    No, I just don’t subscribe to them. So why would you contribute to the problem by posting a meme to a non-meme community?

    That’s where Subscribed versus All comes in though. I do want to see what everyone is upvoting, even when it’s all memes/196 posts. We’re in a shitpost phase now but it’ll pass.

    Ya it’s a little concerning how quickly people shifted to posting low effort crap in bulk in order to simulate a bigger community

    Yes, I started blocking meme communities. I think I’ve reached my “I’m too old for this shit” age or something.

    I do still have the themed meme communities unblocked. Like programming memes and Star Wars memes. Those still give my old ass a sensible chuckle.

    I had to manually search every community with meme and shitposting in it’s name to block them. And even then I had to manually block a lot of others. I want to see memes and I enjoy the humor but it’s not ALL I want to see.

    Thunder app just added the ability to block.

    I think I have finally blocked enything Meme or Shitpost. WOW! What a difference. I don’t need to scroll anywhere near as much.

    You know what? You just inspired me to do it. Definitely cluttering up my day and making me scroll way more than I should/had to.

    I have to say overall the memes are much better quality than what I saw on Reddit.

    Since I unfollowed them I had to do a double take on the community cause my subscriptions have no memes left, I still browse ALL for the whole experience, no bans tho
