I like them cause they‘re simple and don‘t overshare. Just one screenshot and some tidbits about the game that are short to read where you can go „good for you, dude,“ drop a like and move on with your life lol

I always try to contribute something so it’s not just a picture and then me dipping. I’ll usually talk about what I did in the game, and if I can’t do that then I’ll give a review of the game or just talk about it

I get that the content isn’t for everyone, but could always block OP or just keyword filter depending on what frontend/app you use to hide the content if you don’t want to see it.

I don’t like how everyone’s initial reaction is to tell people to just block everything they don’t like. Isn’t that exactly how you create an echo chamber?
Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Depends. Echo chambers are also created by upvote/downvote ratios. If the majority are upvoting a lot of content you have no interest in, filtering that content is also a way to avoid an echo chamber from dominating your feed.
I browse a lot by Everything because my limited list of subscribed communities don’t yet publish enough content to really fill a day’s worth of browsing, so there are a lot of things I haven’t hesitated to block just because it’s not of interest to me or I am not really the intended audience (e.g. a lot of sports communities for teams I don’t follow, german-speaking communities from feddit.org, etc).
I don’t often have to resort to blocking specific users, but there’s a very small handful handful who post a lot of content I want to filter but also don’t use consistent communities or keywords that I can cleanly filter instead.

I look forward to these with every refresh of my Lemmy feed. I don’t want an endless loop of “news”. I just like hearing from normal people enjoying games.
