I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.

I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Yeah, I just don't think that trying to view everything posted to the Threadiverse and blacklisting what one doesn't want to see is really something that will scale.

Like, imagine viewing a combined feed of every Web page that someone puts up anywhere on the Web. That's got a lot more volume than the Threadiverse does in 2026. The signal-to-noise ratio is just going to be unworkable.

Maybe someday, someone will build a recommendation system that profiles users and tries to suggest what they want, but I'm pretty bearish on the prospect of individually-curated killfiles. It didn't scale on Usenet and that had clients with more-powerful blacklisting functionality than do Threadiverse clients in 2026.

I really think that as of 2026, the most-scalable route is whitelisting what one does want to see. Find communities that have content that one is interested in, subscribe to those, browse Subscribed.
