  • But, we do need to consider the roads we pave and the tools we use

    This is the part that every “lol just turn off the crypto crap, no problem!” responses don’t understand. There are short-term issues, and there are long-term issues. Disabling undesired stuff fixes the short-term issue. Letting Brave build up their market share, at the expense of user-first options, creates long-term problems.






  • I get that, but the anime subs were just so absurdly numerous. I just wanted to browse /r/all without having the entire page be anime and “weeb” stuff. I would click to filter out subs over and over and over again, which would help for a while, but eventually /r/all would be flooded with a new batch of anime subs. All I wanted was a “filter out all anime subs” checkbox in the settings.

    I think part of what annoyed me about the anime subs also is how much of it was the lowest of low-effort content (which was the same state of affairs for the “irl” and “circlejerk” subs, hence why I disliked them just as much). If I skimmed /r/all and came across thoughtful discussions about subjects that didn’t interest me, that never bothered me. But a screenful of crappy image posts never failed to annoy me.

    I’m not arguing that the subs didn’t have a right to exist or anything, all I’m saying is that I personally found them annoying, wanted to not see them, and have enjoyed the fact that I’m not seeing so much of that same content now that I’m browsing Lemmy instead.
