Trying to sanitize /all through the means of blocking half of Lemmy is way too much effort, and still won't produce a good experience I think. I personally prune and maintain an extensive subscribed list instead and almost exclusively browse /subscribed. That still lets me access /all (or /local) whenever I feel like it without having half the content blocked, but can still avoid news and politics in my day to day browsing.

Yeah it's unfortunate it takes this much work to filter out the majority of the extremism, but I'm thinking it might be worth it. It took about 6 months to block the worst users on nextdoor but it made my feed infinitely more useful and pleasant, I am guessing the same thing here, time will tell.

If I used it more than just during downtime at work I would probably bother but really I just kinda mindlessly scroll between tasks at work. The nature of my work means it's a lot of hurry up and wait. So Lemmy fills the waiting portion. Once I'm home I have my full computer and all that I have no reason to be on Lemmy anymore lol
