Right, but the new-person-experience will royally suck because they don’t come pre-blocked. I actively try not to block accounts, to keep the view as default as possible.
Every single post listed in the screenshot shows engagement. Furthermore, communities like /funny are always going to be populated with stuff that has been reposted all across the internet because its such a generic topic that requires the content to actually be somewhat funny. Unless you have some resident comedians lurking here, you aren’t going to find much original funny content.
Are they? I’ve been seeing that account posting for quite a while.
It’s only a month old.
Feels more like 5 weeks.
I mean… 1 or 2 new accounts to block every month or so is hardly onerous. It’s not like there’s a new one every day. I don’t get the vocal hate.

Doesn’t that assume that the new person will hate said content? I’m not taking that as a given myself, personally.
Fair point, but if there’s no engagement on those posts, it’s just a repost site like all the others, not a community.
