I’m playing whack a mole constantly, blocking all these anime subs!

    How do you know what new things you have no interest in? I block the stuff I don’t like, I sub what I definitely do like (and occasionally browse it), and the rest I am happy to watch pass by and give up- or downvotes accordingly.

    This is like asking “why would you go to a new website when you already know what you like?” Or “why would you go to a new place to look for friends or dates when you know you like people at XXX place?”.

    Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.

      “Frankly, sorry, this perspective of “anything I haven’t subbed I obviously don’t like” is pretty fuckin stupid. Don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone thinking it.”

      Likewise, I think it’s really stupid to be looking at content you have zero interest in. And likewise, don’t feel bad though, you aren’t alone.

      Thanks for the belittling tone of your statement there 😉. You just have a different point of view.

      How can you waste so much time looking at content that you have zero interest in? Don’t you have stuff to actually do in life, or are you one of these people that get bored because you’ve got nothing to do?

      I’m a person that never gets bored. I always have something I want to do. I don’t have time to be doing things that aren’t necessary to survive and things I don’t enjoy.

      I know who I am, and what I like. My interests are quite broad and I know what I don’t want to see. I prefer to white list my interests on Lemmy than black list the things I have zero interest in. Even thought my interests are quite broad, white listing is significantly shorter. In an infinite number of interests, my 1000 interests are significantly shorter than infinity-1000.

      Edit: When I gain a new interest, which is usually a sub interest of another interest I have then I’ll look for the community on Lemmy/Reddit/other forums.

      When I first started Reddit many years ago I learnt that all is usually full of rage bait content. I avoid rage bait as much as possible. I guestimate that all on Lemmy is exactly the same since most Lemmy users were/are Reddit users.

        Live your best life yo, and have fun doing you. It would be cool to be young and know everything again.

        You don’t engage with new communities, neat. I like to keep an eye open, because out of infinity - 1000, there are still infinite communities I MIGHT like. Or even infinite - 2000 I don’t like too. Look at all the math I can do. Here’s an emoji 😍. Shut up, dude. Tell all your friends how well you know yourself, your perspective is still fucking stupid.

        Belittled because, here on the net, you are little. Just like everyone else.
