I was once told, your gut reaction and first impulse is your upbringing and conditioning. It’s your reasoned, critical response that makes you who you are.

I have had similar questions about myself recently and this advice helped me to analyse my thinking without getting caught up in guilt.

Thank you. I was scrolling on the center right of my screen, being right handed. Scrolling on the left works as you say.

It also shows the full link of the communities and I see now I’ve blocked xyz@lemmy.world and xyz@lemmy.somethingelse. Unlike when I block them from my feed where it only shows xyz. So it is working fine I just wasn’t aware there could be multiple xyz’s @ different instances.

Thanks again

Thank you, I found it in the browser version

I couldn’t see how, I’m using Connect on android. Searching settings for “language” didn’t show any results.

I did find “blocked instances includes comments” though, I’ve toggled it off and will see what happens.

Yes exactly. Even anime or TV shows i enjoy i block for fear of spoilers.

Yes so do I, that’s my problem. I want to be able to filter content to my interests by category, not individually. It’s tiresome to block nba, nfl, futebol, even individual teams. A blocklist i could import for “sport” would be a huge experience improvement for me, just as I imagine for a sports fan if they so wished could block all “anime”.
