Please can we have the option to flag posts intentionally in the wrong groups so they are moved.

@Andrew @Nuno

A US election is coming up and while I appreciate it’s very important to some people, those of us who are not American or political would block the politics and election groups, so our feed isn’t cluttered with a subject that doesn’t interest us - much like removing adult content.

Currently politics and associated satire is being posted under a number of other unrelated groups that if we muted those too would block non politics posts too.

This sometimes become a particular problem when users from both ends of the spectrum are trolling and meme spamming people they see as their opposition.

I’m asking if a report post category could please be added for a post under an incorrect group so it could be moved - not deleted. So that those who enjoy these posts can still read them, and those of us who don’t will not.

The intention of this request to allow people to control their feed without deleting posts or subject from others.

Thank you.

Don't block groups. Just block individual posts you don't want to see.

@Jaego Fair enough, but what if something that isn't political gets randomly posted in there?

@MaryDreamilton Given the sheer volume of American politics posts, it’s a chance I’m prepared to take. But again it wouldn’t happen if people simply used the groups properly
@MaryDreamilton So you don't mind getting junk email from which you have to subscribe?

You really don't value your time, do you?
Agreed.

There are also lazy users who have actually told me "oh, I post everything here".

Who is to say it is politics or life. We can argue it is always both.
Please.
I got banned from the Moon group because I made it mine

I thought there was a feature where the post would be recatagorized if it was in the wrong group. Based on the algorithm.

@HannahSky I think the admins try to do it retrospectively, but not always.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Better idea...on every profile list all alts. And if you block one, all alts are blocked and don't count against your block count.

Can we block groups or are you suggesting this new feature as well?
Jaego · 100+
@deadteddy We can already mute a group. If you select the group and use the button in the top right.
