I seriously. I’m for realiously. I got like 8 different furry subs in my block list and filtered out terms like ‘yiff’ etc. You’d think the algorithm would have picked up that I’m not interested in that shit but I still can’t scroll a half hour without a wolf boner adorning my screen.
I know I can simply block all NSFW content but that’d just be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Because IT people run Lemmy, and IT people are surprisingly often furries.
Also there is no “algorithm” in the way people usually mean it. For better or worse, there is just a few basic ways of sorting your feed.
Finally, in my entire 3 years on here, I’ve never seen any NSFW furry stuff. Now, I rarely ever use the global feed, and my instance isn’t a general purpose mega-instance, so that probably plays a large part in it.
