kbin's "random" sidebar is a neat idea in concept, but has big flaws in practice... (kbin.social)

NSFW Posts like this are not uncommon to see on the sidebar and are disruptive and annoying.

For context, I already blocked both the /m/random magazine as well as the person posting this content (to their own microblog), yet the sidebar can still show this post and thumbnail.

I blocked the random posts section of the sidebar entirely using uBlock Origin today. Much better experience.

@atocci Yep, I wound up doing the same thing awhile back.

Yeah, seems to be the go-to solution for now.
I just kinda feel like this is a bigger issue than people realize for the moment.
