Today’s game is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I was stuck in a car for 6 hours and when I got home just wanted to relax. So this is what I turned on.

I caught a tilapia I named Todd, and took this screenshot out front of my home after putting him in my home. I don’t spend much time on this game as I struggle with games that need commitment (I think that much is obvious though), so my game is not very far along even half a year in. I just got to the point where I can construct the house for the three villagers moving in today.

It’s a shame though I can’t stay with this game. Because I love the early game. Pole vaulting around is awesome and satisfying. The wild but chill vibes I get from the game are nice too. I have the soundtrack saved to my iCloud music library just so I can play it while working.

I get that the content isn’t for everyone, but could always block OP or just keyword filter depending on what frontend/app you use to hide the content if you don’t want to see it.

I don’t like how everyone’s initial reaction is to tell people to just block everything they don’t like. Isn’t that exactly how you create an echo chamber?

Depends. Echo chambers are also created by upvote/downvote ratios. If the majority are upvoting a lot of content you have no interest in, filtering that content is also a way to avoid an echo chamber from dominating your feed.

I browse a lot by Everything because my limited list of subscribed communities don’t yet publish enough content to really fill a day’s worth of browsing, so there are a lot of things I’ve blocked just because it’s not interesting to me, or if I am not really the intended audience (e.g. a lot of sports communities for teams I don’t follow, german-speaking communities from feddit.org, etc).

I don’t often have to resort to blocking specific users, but there’s a very small handful of names who post a large volume of content I want to filter but also don’t use consistent communities or keywords that I can cleanly filter instead.
