I have no real interest in anime. As far as I can remember, I’ve never clicked on any anime related links on Lemmy, but it seems like every other post I see is about anime, a lot of them have to do with someone or something called Moe. I keep blocking them, but more show up. How do I stop it?

      Communities isn’t enough, there’s a lot of unhinged accounts that constantly make new communities.

      You can block entire instances, that’s the only way I got rid of it. Whatever instances keep getting new communities of that shit to spam, just block the whole thing.

      I’ve seen tons of anime but what sports communities are you referring to? The only ones I’ve seen aren’t active at all

        Can’t speak for the previous poster, but I’ve blocked a lot of (non-American) football and Formula 1 racing comms.

    I used to find exactly that, but I blocked the ani.social instance and its barely any now.

    Go in settings, tap Blocks and at the bottom, add a blocked instance: ani.social

    Occasionally someone makes an unsavoury community elsewhere, so I block those when they come up - tap through to the community and tap the sidebar and you can tap the Block Community button.

    There’s a particularly obnoxious Moe fan that posts on a multitude of separate accounts instances and communities to insure his posts are seen by everyone.

    When I expressed my concern that some of his Moe was almost anime child porn because it featured underaged girls in explicit poses, he said it was his right to promote those pictures.

    It took several weeks to block every moe community because of him.

    Unfortunately, it’s the only way to stop it. Every time you see one, click the community and block it.

    Yeah I tend to block the anime and “*moe” communities and instances. There’s too much being posted, and it’s a lot of the time border-line CSAM. I confronted someone about it—one poster who consistently only posts anime content featuring children in semi-lewd situations, positions, and clothing.

    He basically did the next more adult version of putting his thumbs in his ears, waving his fingers back and forth and chanting “nah nah na-nah nah” at me. They weren’t contesting being a paedo at all, when confronted. Just replying with complete nonsense, troll comments.

    So I just block. 🤷‍♂️ Fuck 'em.

    It’s mostly just a couple users. I just blocked them and then almost never see it.

    I usually try not to block users if I can help it, but it was the only viable option when they spin up a new community for every genre of borderline CSAM that someone posts to pixiv.

    It would be nice if sub’s could be marked with content tags which could then be filtered

    Tags could be subject matter, like anime, but also language, or region.

    This way I could setup filters for “my region or country only” and “only English and Spanish sub’s” or “no regional sub’s except Canada” and “no anime” to block every anime sub
