And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

There was a while there where I was really into wholesome memes. People really don’t get what wholesome is. I started getting legitimately upset at what people thought was appropriate there so I had to block the communities.

    I remember that. It's seems to have toned down a little but, like, no Lemmy, a murder revenge fantasy isn't a wholesome meme. Jfc

    on the flip side there's the million "orphan crushing machine forgot to crush one orphan today! so wholesome!" type posts that are even worse imho...

    you know the ones: "kids save up to buy wheelchair for classmate", "kid works 80h weeks to pay off lunch debt", "kid works at meat packing plant after school to afford bicycle", and on and on.

    each is more depressing than the previous.

    these types of posts are the exact opposite of wholesome, yet frequently get upvoted on wholesome communities and it's just...what is wrong with people? why would you think that shit is wholesome??

    neither the stuff you mentioned, nor the orphan crushing machine stuff should be on wholesome communities.

    tbf, i noticed the popular wholesome comms seem to be doing a lot better on this front lately! waaay less orphan crushing machine, and way less of the "x died, yippee!" posts.
