lol yea I keep blocking the sports bots that post game stats, it took ages cause each team has their own bot but I seem to have blocked all of them at this point
If I could forget what sports even are and be able to live life without ever hearing it mentioned, seeing it mentioned, or seeing any commercials for upcoming games or tournaments, I would be so happy.
I fucking hate sports of all kinds. In all contexts. It's fine if others like it, but don't say shit about them around me, I don't wanna hear it.
Even as a kid when I went through a phase where I liked them for a couple years, people would start talking about the specific players, and I could just be bothered to care. It just felt like reading the credits of the names of extras in a boring movie. Even if I liked a team, the players felt like they were always switching teams and moving around, so liking the players just seemed like a waste of time and getting attached to drama.
I just don't get the appeal at all. Like some sports should just not be watched by anyone. Some I can see the entertainment value in watching if you don't really care who wins. But other sports are just plain boring unless you actively play. Like golf. There is no good reason for anyone to watch it (ESPECIALLY on TV) at all. It's too slow to be interesting, and you can't really see it happen since watching a tiny ball is just impossible.
Anyway, make all sports content in all mediums opt-in.

I'd rather just a "Hide Thread" button but I can't find one.
Add gaming while you're at it. I'm a former gamer but I'm in full on grandpa mode at this point and sick of seeing it.
I made a post like this not long ago, specifically about hiding all sports communities, yeah.
I would like a hide previous posts option. So many things are reposted.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
