I don’t block tags. I block the people posting the tags. This works for me because the only tags I want blocked are things that signify that there is something fundamentally wrong with the person posting them.

Like socks in sandals.

You had me from the very end.

MudMan@fedia.io on 29 Sep 22:38 next collapse

In social media? Not much.

Here I block any and all threads and communities that focus on US news. Specifically stuff that just has a generic name ("News") but is 100% US-focused content.

Night and day improvement, frankly.

Steve@communick.news on 29 Sep 23:08 next collapse

I don’t block what I don’t like.
I subscribe to what I do like.

devfuuu@lemmy.world on 30 Sep 01:04 next collapse

I have a few that catch a bunch of useless annoying stuff I don’t wanna see:

  • AI / ML shit - bunch of keywords to remove posts like: ai, llm, machinelearning
  • apple bullshit and fanboism: wwdc, apple, iphone and multiple variations of tags for specific annual events
  • blusky talk: blsky, bluesky and variations
  • a whole thing about sports events like soccer with lots of words
  • specific annual events for things like: eurovision, adventofcode, olympics, motogp
  • some brainwashing from the oligarchs, things like: spacex, etc

This is all specific to mastodon, in my settings. on lemmy I haven’t blocked anything yet, I mean, I only follow the subs I want to.

You completely ignored the very specific and obsessive instructions, so I am going to have to upvote you.

This reeks of chatGPT. You couldn’t write this post on your own?

Anything related to arguing about fanfiction

I’m still waiting for the tags to arrive.

PumpkinDrama@reddthat.com on 30 Sep 18:55 collapse

Many clients allow blocking keywords. I don’t think tags are coming anytime soon.

anime

QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works on 30 Sep 17:31 collapse

we don’t really have tags on Lemmy, but I blocked the anime subs just because I don’t find reposted images without any text enjoyable the same way I find music enjoyable. I do appreciate the insane amount of effort that goes into making them though.

With an exception for vocaloid ones because I do enjoy vocaloid music
