maybe im just a grump but honestly i treat stuff i dont want on ao3 with a very "i do not see it" kinda attitude. like, yeah, i think trollfics are annoying, and a friend made a strong case recently for why it's not really an appropriate place for ai-generated stuff either but like. any time i see something like that my response is "damn that's annoying" and then i ignore it.
there's very occasionally been like, actual campaigns to annoy users (like that time assholes put like 300 tags on all their trollfics to "protest"(?) something??), and in those cases i'll actually bother to report people, but if its only like 2 people that annoy me i don't see much point. they can go be annoying out of my sight i dont care.
#the only exception for me is like. actively mistagged works#because that can do more than slightly annoy people#but honestly even then its pretty case by case for how much im willing to invest#ao3 really strikes me as a live and let live environment#also btw if anyone's wondering: the point that convinced me ai isnt super appropriate is like#ao3 is very much a place designed to celebrate people's creativity and have fun *making* things and seeing what others make#its like bringing store bought shit to a craft fair#like its fine i guess but you really ignored the implicit agreement we all had.#maybe thats being too sentimental a cynic would just say ao3 is just a place for transformative work period#but that's where im at

Since it looks like I’m going to be more active over here, here are some tags you might want to mute. (And if I forget to tag something or I mistag it, please let me know. I’m a big fan of curating your experience when possible, so I want to be able to help do that.) I have been inconsistent with these in the past, so I’m trying to get my shit together and be more welcoming with this for new people. General Conversations- #Chatter ToT specific conversations- #Twitter of Time Random selfies, personal life void screaming, etc- #Personal Show Spoilers (I only consider it a spoiler until a week after the episode has aired)- #ShowInitials Spoilers (for example #WoT Spoilers) Book Spoilers- Either #BookName Spoilers #BookSeries Spoilers or simply #Book Spoilers Movie Spoilers (Again, if the movie has been available on streaming for more than a couple of months, I don’t consider it spoilers at that point. With the rare exception to this being like a whodunnit or mystery type where the reveal is the whole point of the movie)- #MovieTitle Spoilers And honestly, if it’s an adaptation, I will probably tag both the original work and the adaptation with whatever name it goes by, but if you have something specific you’d like me to add an extra tag to so you can mute it, just let me know!
