    I just blocked cats. I like cats. But there’s a gazillion of cats on my feed all of a sudden.

    Cats.

      I’m the same. I also block individuals who post the same thing in like 6 different subs. Yes those posts can tech ically belong in 6 different subs, but if I see more then 2 I just don’t care and it’s instant block from me.

        Unlike subs where there’s one centralized “Technology” sub for example, here they’re spread out. There are at least 3 large and active “Technology” communities and so cross-posting to all is necessary. It’s the equivalent to posting to the single “Technology” sub on the shit site. Therefore multi-communitu cross-posting is the norm here.

          I get why it’s done, just bothers me seeing the same thing like 4 times all back to back so I block em.

      Absolutely. First thing I did when I discovered how to block communities. And I like cats too.
