When I was maybe 5 or 6 my mom had hung a couple of “Cydney” clown prints in frames on the wall in my room. Feel free to look them up online for a whimsical taste of 60s-era coulrophobia fuel 😬.
Every time we went out of town to visit relatives the glass on one of them would be fogged over. It was creepy as shit and I would refuse to step foot into my room until my dad wiped the fog off the glass.
I’ve got 1322 communities blocked myself 😂. Still plenty of content to view using either the ‘all’ feed or my front page.
I also use filters a bunch, which helps with stuff like excessive posts about certain creeps in tech or getting spammed with quasi-duplicate posts across multiple communities that I otherwise want to see content from.
Got a few instances blocked as well - seems like Lemmy has a pretty good set of tools to customize content.
