There’s a constant influx of new communities with softcore sexualized characters, especially anime girls, that I could do without.
I don’t mind anime and manga in general, so I would rather not block the instances that specialize in it, but blocking softcore communities one by one seems be a never ending task.
I also think it may be off-putting for new members.
While I agree with your broad point and have made the same point myself – it is just wildly impractical for people to try getting the whole network to blacklist everything globally to fit their exact set of tastes – I will grant that there’s probably room for user-curated whitelists or something. I understand that Bluesky does something like this. That way, instead of having to discover each individual community, you can subscribe to someone’s list of recommended communities and have them “auto added” to your subscriptions or something like that.
