No idea. Maybe they're still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear for some odd reason?

Maybe all the ”what the fuck we just made another-moe" communities?

I swear I used to block three every week, until I figured out it was just a few users who didn't know how to use content warning tags, and then I just blocked those users.

furries. linux supremacists. extremist left-wingers of various flavors and identity groups. fetishists of every variety and their weird SFW quasi pornography.

not sure how you aren't seeing any of that. i see it on a daily basis and to not see it i have to block dozens of communities. at one point on lemmy i had something like 60 communities blocked and 100s of users.
