More boobs, fewer balls.

I really wish there could be tags and sub-tags.

Tag and sub-tag examples:

• Politics ** US ** Europe ** Africa
• Sports ** Basketball, US ** Volleyball ** F1

Some sort of curated list by Lemmy developers that might change over time depending on user demand.

Then client apps can fetch such list from any server and allow you to apply such filter.

This is a brilliant shower thought. I had the same thought recently.

Meanwhile the dozens of us hockey fans don’t see anything about our sport. :(

I wonder why it seems to be a different experience for everyone. Must be instance related, no? I mostly saw Linux, memes, technology and politics before blocking them.

Hide all sports related content, no question!

I’d like a simple and easy way to share blocklists. I spent my first few weeks on Lemmy blocking everything I didn’t want to see, and now I rarely see things from outside my bubble…

On second thought maybe that’s not such a good thing

As a person from a country that has near zero knowledge, awareness, and enthusiasm for American Football, I agree.

If I could forget what sports even are and be able to live life without ever hearing it mentioned, seeing it mentioned, or seeing any commercials for upcoming games or tournaments, I would be so happy.

I fucking hate sports of all kinds. In all contexts. It’s fine if others like it, but don’t say shit about them around me, I don’t wanna hear it.

Even as a kid when I went through a phase where I liked them for a couple years, people would start talking about the specific players, and I could just be bothered to care. It just felt like reading the credits of the names of extras in a boring movie. Even if I liked a team, the players felt like they were always switching teams and moving around, so liking the players just seemed like a waste of time and getting attached to drama.

I just don’t get the appeal at all. Like some sports should just not be watched by anyone. Some I can see the entertainment value in watching if you don’t really care who wins. But other sports are just plain boring unless you actively play. Like golf. There is no good reason for anyone to watch it (ESPECIALLY on TV) at all. It’s too slow to be interesting, and you can’t really see it happen since watching a tiny ball is just impossible.

Anyway, make all sports content in all mediums opt-in.

Honestly, I say we ditch NSFW as a on/off switch and go with a mandatory tagging system. We can clarify NSFW into content warning tags, e.g. CW - Gore, CW - Death, CW - Breast, CW - Genitalia.

Users could then set their own preferences on which tags would cause a post to be masked or simply hidden.

But why stop there? Tags could be very useful in our federated environment to help communities mesh better with each other.

Communities could be able to specify a list of mandatory tags, i.e. the Swallow community could require posts specify African Swallow or European Swallow (or both or neither). Communities could also make some tags implied, so the AfricanSwallow community might just imply that posts are Africian Swallow unless user changes it.

Underneath the hood, all tags are just treated as part of the post text, so the backend performance impact will be minimal. However moderation tools would be able to consider tags when deciding how to handle a post.

Of course, the server/instance owner can then simply make a policy of what kinds of content warnings they require, and communities can then build other tags on that to meet their community needs.

Yeh I’d love a “hide all elon/twitter/x” toggle.

Sports, Religion and War, the 3 most wasteful activities humans have invented.

A hide all onlyfans spam button. Regular porn is fine.

I need one for politics
