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

      Yes, blocking something you don’t want to see usually results in seeing fewer of that thing.

        Not when that thing has dozens of communities for every little nuance a genre can have. For example:

          Block the instance

          Edit: I love anime but my response was for those who don’t. If they want less then subscribe to the local ones and block the anime instances that aren’t local

            I’m with you on this. That may not be the intent, but it sure as hell is the vibe they give off.

        Right (appreciate the sparky comment), but there seem to be anime subs for every little anime niche there could possibly be. If it was all limited to a few anime subs this would never have been an issue. Block one or two communities, and you’re done.

        Instead, you have to play wackamole and block communities every couple of weeks that get created for some new niche that apparently is t filled.

          I got the impression it’s just a few people and the one I replied to was very hostile. They thought it was their right to post as much borderline loli as possible.

      I had to do this for US politics but I don’t recall when I last saw an anime related post.
