In my personal opinion, this site is completely unusable without heavy content filtering. Just being picky about which communities to follow and users to block isn’t enough.
That said, I realize I might be in the minority on this, so I’m curious what others are doing to preserve their sanity.
I don’t use a filter. I subscribe to communities that interest me. Keep NSFW posts turned off. browse by hot, scaled and multi cummonies related to tech and all that I like.
