Oh no! Anyways...

So I'm not sure what your character is class wise. But if they're good at sneaking and ranged attacks there's a way to get into the rafters above the Hobgoblin. Attack and immediately go into hiding. Rinse, lather, repeat. IF they do come out and chase you the platform that you have to get up to get to the rafters has only 2 ladders up. So you could use Shadowheart to push off (or at least try).

Doesn't really address the overall issue of filtering out a massive amount of communities that are of no interest to a user though. I just jumped on there. There are 17 new communities. 1 of which might be of interest. That ratio sounds like an awful grind to keep up with.

I see what you're saying. Lemmy isn't as big as Reddit... but it's still also somewhat huge for a mere mortal to play whack-a-mole on an individual basis. Let me paint a scenario. As I mentioned I don't want to see "Sports" related communities. Cool. Theoretically I'd block a tag of "sports". That's basically saying I don't want to see THOSE communities (a MASS whack-a-mole if you will).

But lets do the inverse a whitelist approach instead. I'm interested in Science, Art, and say Games. There's no way for me to for me to subscribe to a topic tag either at this point to only show me stuff relevant to my interests.

Imgur, for instance, lets me filter in and out loads of specific tags from my feed (also specific use posts).

I guess I have the answer though to my query that it isn't possible since there is only 1 tag so far and it's for NSFW content.

Ok. At least it's not just me noticing communities for a bazillion small sports teams every backwater location in the US.

Odd question... How is an influencers death "world news"? Or is "world news" synonymous with "News published somewhere other than the US"?

“I am friends with both of them. It’s entertaining to think that a fistfight could break out at any movement. I kind of dig that,” he continued.

Sheesh. Seems like even their friends are kinda shitty to everyone.

I know I've already replied to you but I came across this short interview with the actress that played Dr.Crusher in TNG and why she was fired from the show then came back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYsemEvV3-Y Oddly on point to what we're talking about here.

The insane thing is that even with all that they were exceptionally progressive... in comparison to what else was out at the same time. The issue of doing this sort of social comparison is that you really need to keep it in context with history. Weird example. The Honeymooners regularly had a punchline of threatening violence against one of the wives (The infamous "One of these days Alice! BANG! ZOOM!"), 10 years after the last episode Star Trek The Original Series started which (unless I'm remembering wrong) didn't use violence as a joke.

Sometimes it takes a while for things to change... Other times it gallops along.

Ahhh 90's TV... So there was a lot of issues during the 90's when it came to scripts. One of the issues was that TV Execs now acknowledged the existence of women but they weren't to sure what to "do" with them. You can see this in many many shows but one of the things that pops up is you might have a strong female character that has a few really good episodes or seasons but at some point the writing flips to they want to get pregnant and married (not saying either is bad but when it comes out of left field a bit it's clearly just tacked on plot).

The reason I bring the above up is that much of Trek (even TNG) women are treated in many plots as merely props in a narrative to move a story forward not as actual characters. Unfortunately this is also why the Federation seems so blasé to how they're treated, because they're not fully treated as a proper character. So, hilariously, the execs of the time (and writers) are somewhat caricatures of their own creations, the Ferengis.
