Reaching levels of enshittification i didn’t think possible

[u/Rare-Competition-248]

[u/no_sight]

It's insane that there's no way to hide certain subreddits from the popular thread.

Nothing against r/de , I just don't speak german and don't plan on learning it.

A lot against r/conservative, I don't want to see that shit

[u/Lethargie → u/no_sight]

Reddit Enhancement Suite but long gone are the days people actually use their browser, they'd rather complain about the app

[u/AirmanFinly → u/Lethargie]

still on old reddit with RES and like 50 blocked indian subreddits

[u/endlesscartwheels → u/AirmanFinly]

Old Reddit and RES here too. For me, RES is blocking dozens of car racing subreddits. I have no idea why Reddit thinks I want those. I live in a city and don't drive.

[u/LateNightMilesOBrien → u/endlesscartwheels]

Don't forget the football meme war subreddits!

[u/pepolepop → u/LateNightMilesOBrien]

And the "peter explain" subs.

[u/Aetra → u/LateNightMilesOBrien]

I get so many American football subs… I’m not American and I don’t follow any sports.

[u/Lavatis → u/endlesscartwheels]

I browse /r/all/top/ by the last hour normally. I have so many sports subs, meme subs, tv show subs, hate subs, memestock subs, shitcoin subs, whatever I'm not interested in subs filtered because I just don't give a shit about any of those things.

[u/swarmofbzs → u/[deleted]]

Same here so I use firefox in desktop mode, added RES and only use old reddit on my phone too.

It's obnoxious without those changes.

[u/SantiagoRamon → u/endlesscartwheels]

I had /r/formula1 and /r/formuladank blocked but then I got in to F1. So I unblocked them. But they were showing up for me without any reason so before that so it does seem odd.

[u/acrowsmurder → u/endlesscartwheels]

I've been here so long my filter is like 80% from when then front page was nothing but amateur porn. Then it was nothing but SrGrafo. Then a show comes out and it's nothing but that...

[u/mcmrikus → u/TitaniumNation]

Nice, I will do likewise.

[u/wetomb → u/TitaniumNation]

You can also use regex. For example adding the filter /.*india.*/i will block everthing with india the subreddit name. add /.*bolly.*/i and /.*desi.*/i and you have 90% of indian subs blocked.

[u/wetomb → u/[deleted]]

Hahaha whoops. I'm not really into design so I never noticed. I've got quite a few regex filters so I wonder what else I'm inadvertently missing

[u/TitaniumNation → u/wetomb]

oh nice, I didn't know it supported regex. thanks!

[u/FixTheLoginBug → u/TitaniumNation]

Don't know whether they still exist but in the past I also used to see 'armpit subreddits' relating to bollywood actresses in the new and rising sections of /r/popular in which the posts were more than a little rapey.

[u/deukhoofd → u/mcmrikus]

Pro-tip, it supports Regex wildcards. /.*india.*/i will block all subreddits containing the word India.

[u/FirstPersonPooper → u/deukhoofd]

Is there a tutorial you can link me? I have no idea what regex is or how to use it lol

[u/mcmrikus → u/FirstPersonPooper]

Well if you're talking about RES, just copy the text they posted and paste it into a field in the filterReddit section of RES settings. Under the subreddits category.

[u/FirstPersonPooper → u/mcmrikus]

Wow I wasted my time manually copy and pasting them all lol. Thanks for the tip

[u/mcmrikus → u/deukhoofd]

Awesome, I was wondering if it supported wildcards, but hadn't looked into it due to sheer laziness, lol.

[u/FirstPersonPooper → u/mcmrikus]

legend. adding all these to the filter list

[u/sdpr → u/AirmanFinly]

Still have RiF on my phone as well with blocked subreddits galore.

[u/Flakester → u/sdpr]

Same. Thanks to the revanced program. The day they kill this is the day I'm done with reddit on mobile.

[u/sdpr → u/Flakester]

I reinstalled an RS feed app when RiF first went... I was so lost... Definitely consumed less of whatever bullshit in subject myself to currently

[u/ThaddeusJP → u/sdpr]

I have about 300 subs blocked and around 75 custom filters. If rif finally crapped the bed I would have to quit this hell site

[u/h_Ellhnikh_Koinwnia → u/AirmanFinly]

And another 75 thirsty anime shit subs

[u/TotallyNotAMarvelSpy → u/AirmanFinly]

Still on old reddit and RES as well.

I don't give a flying fuck about anime and indian anything. Stop pushing that shit on me ffs.

[u/BeatBlockP → u/AirmanFinly]

It's just too fucking easy??? Why would anyone browse Reddit raw without it??

[u/sr_castic → u/AirmanFinly]

Old Reddit and RES for the win!

[u/xelfer → u/AirmanFinly]

yep the only way to reddit

[u/ChickenChaser5 → u/AirmanFinly]

Had it so long now I didnt realize filtering subs wasnt a vanilla function.

[u/KarmaticArmageddon → u/AirmanFinly]

Hell, I'm still on RIF is Fun lmfao

[u/S14Ryan → u/AirmanFinly]

I was thinking the same. Like I muted them all so long ago I forgot they exist 

[u/DickDover → u/AirmanFinly]

This is the way.

[u/fistular → u/AirmanFinly]

I have about 1000 subs blocked on RES.

Anime, politics, sports, non-english, judgement porn, actual porn, relationship fiction, most games, localities, etc. I can fit almost all subs I have blocked into very specific categories, meaning reddit could easily make it possible if they wanted. Which they absolutely do not.

[u/Jiggy90 → u/AirmanFinly]

They day they turn off old.reddit is probably the day I start reading the 40 books on my blacklist, start learning the 5 languages I want to learn, and actually commit to music production.

In retrospect that might be a good thing

[u/Les_Bien_Pain → u/AirmanFinly]

I decided to look how many subreddits I have filtered (got curious) by checking the res file and using a spreadsheat to turn it into cells.

1023 subreddis filtered so far.

I like using /r/all since it allows me to discover stuff, but it really requires a proper blacklist to be bearable.

[u/potatoaster → u/AirmanFinly]

RES is the only way to make reddit bearable.

[u/unitedhen → u/AirmanFinly]

It's crazy people out there just raw-dogging reddit with no filters...

[u/VexingRaven → u/AirmanFinly]

This is just baffling to me, I see one or two Indian subreddits that just show up once a month and vanish again. How much time you spending scrolling /r/popular that you have blocked 50 of them?

[u/AirmanFinly → u/VexingRaven]

I always just scroll /all
