Someone went out of their way to create a bespoke response for when a user blocks an NSFW community. It immediately asks you if you’d like to block all NSFW or just the community in question. There is no other subject given similar treatment.

This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.
