Every other post is about that site.

It’s like getting a new girlfriend but constantly talking about your ex.

    I sincerely wish people would use the block feature, rather than keep making threads complaining about content/communities they don’t like to see.

      Sincere question, how do I use the block feature, I mean, can we filter out certain words? I only know of blocking of users.

        On kbin and I think most major lemmy instances, you can block communities, so if you don’t want to see content from them, say redditmigration posts, you can filter the whole community. That won’t stop you from say seeing it in unrelated communities, in which case blocking the users who keep bring it up reduces visibility of the topic even more. Finally setting your default page to your subs rather than top reduces the visibility of unwanted topics even more.

      I have done that but I am still allowed to have a discussion.

      Some people made some valid points against my sentiment, I would not have gotten that had I not posted.

      For me it’s important to see opposing views, otherwise what’s the point.

        Than make a post about having a discussion. Not a declarative statement of what needs to happen and a subjective sentiment delivered in objective format. You don’t start a discussion about immediately saying others are wrong.

          I thought the word can was asking a question. Had I used something like you must stop it would have been different.

            Where is the question? If you were sincere, which I don’t think you are, you could have worded it much better. For example: “Is it better if we do not talk about that site…?”

              Yep the girlfriend metaphor is weird since it would make most of us polygamous. Miss my old girlfriend, love the current one and have my eye on several new ones. Calkey….mm she sexy and pixelfed seems like a cool chick as well but more my little sister’s type to be honest
