Only English is ticked… Don’t worry mate, I already solved the problem!

I just block meme-posters and meme communities and my Fediverse stays interesting as a result. No need to convince/wait for the world to change when I can conveniently block the slop myself, it’s one of the most appreciated features of PieFed/Lemmy imho.
Recall that whole db0 defederation of feddit.org? Was not a problem for me at all because I had already blocked the instance long before the whole thing kicked off simply because I didn’t speak German and didn’t want my feed full of German posts I couldn’t understand anyway.

Use private trackers only. Public trackers are way easier to identify you on.
Disable DHT, PeX and Local Peer Discovery in your BitTorrent client. This will prevent you connecting to random public peers.
If you’re just interested in movies/TV I recommend streaming sites with an adblocker. Just so much easier and safe enough. Find sites on fmhy.net

Looked up prices for these and they’re all around $120, modded iPods ranging between $150-$900 and Sony Walkman one is around $900.
