My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

Sorry I think we're on the same page here, my generation is largely anti-trump but we're going to be remembered for voting him in. I was trying to draw the comparison of falsely placed blame.

I understand, and I didn't mean to come off too strong, but you have no idea how many times I've seen people in these communities saying that all boomers are horrible, some even going so far as to say that the world would be better if we were all dead. Unironically. Can you image the backlash if someone said that about any other demographic? A gender? A race? It gets a bit frustrating to be worse than dismissed because of the year I was born, regardless of the fact that I'm a pretty progressive liberal on the same side as most of the people doing the dismissing.
