This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
I wish this would work, but unfortunately even if you try and block for example news, us politics or the middle east content, agitating posts creep into other communities all the time. Even if you search for anything on lemmy you can bet sth agitating about the classic rage inducing topics pop up.
yep. you can block individual things, but you can’t block all content, and people love shoving controversial content onto everything.
even in my own offline hobbies… lots of folks grandstand over social/political issues in the hobby and try to make people ‘pick sides’ so they can call them names. today i saw a post to a FB group I used for local events… demanding everyone boycott this company… that nobody uses anyway and isn’t even related to the hobby in question… it’s insane. and if you remove the post they cry foul and you are trying to ‘silence’ them and you’re on the ‘bad side’ of the issue.
and face it, the vibe of lemmy has changed substantially over the past few years, and it’s way more full of controversy-seeking nutjobs than it was 2-3 years ago. making any most with subtley and nuace on any issue here just gets you harassed and labeled and attacked, because dumbasses can’t see things as more complex than absolutely good/right, or absolutely evil/wrong.
