Hundreds. Comms, instances, users...

Reasons are everything from AI slop to US politics to folks posting pages upon pages of the same content. I also block comms and instances where I don't speak the main language.

Eight, but this account is only a couple weeks old.

I have 0 people blocked

I would only block if someone would follow me around, harassing me on every post or something, which hasn't happened yet in Lemmy

From the sound of it, you might want to relax your trigger finger juuuuust a little

On here? No one. On other platforms, only two people have ever given me enough grief that I needed to.

12 instances and rough estimate between 100 and 150 people blocked. Note a lot of them are blocked for posting spam ads or being bots, but a lot are blocked due to behavior. Fuck 'em. I only have so much time on this earth, and I'm not spending any more of it dealing with fuckheads than I have to.

Zero. Even if I vehemently disagree with someone I am still willing to see what they said.

I think echo chambers and "bubbles" are incredibly dangerous.

I have 4 users blocked, one instance and 4 communities.

I'm sitting on 40 blocks in 2 years. It's almost entirely assholes who have trouble with reading comprehension or who like to attack people on a whim.

I haven't blocked anyone yet. Haven't had enough of a problem to warrant the effort.

I did add a tag to one guy out of curiosity and now im seeing him everywhere

None. Gotta have someone going against the crazies.

I've never blocked anyone.

I block spammers and scammers.. but when taking about real "I incredibly really dislike this person" kind of blocking, then that is 1.

He is like my shadow, completely opposite of how I would ever act with people. It drives me nuts every time I see a message from him since what he desires, I also desire, but he does it so so much worse in a way I would never do it.

We interacted once. Got kind of a negative-ish jokingly response, so I checked their history and... Yeah no.

There is also tons of other things I just clash with him on too, like some idealistic views..

In my eyes, he downgrades the community VASTLY with his hot takes, negativity and ignorance, but others disagree.. so I block him

mostly spam bots. I can't find any irl humans in my killfiles.

Only Nicole. I just tag the propaganda spammers like [@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml using Voyager, so I don't need to read their posts first, but that's it. Instance wise however I blocked lemmy.ml and ani.social

92 people, 5 instances.

32, most of them being spammers or serial posters, with the occasional bad faith and/or too hostile or angry person that I simply do not wish to read in the future.

I don't block entire instances because my feed only shows me what I'm subscribed to (meaning I don't see much of those communities that are the most likely to trigger shitty/low effort content posting) and I've not yet felt the need to censor a whole instance no matter how many morons, or worse, are thriving in it... simply because I'm not forced to read them.

BTW, when I moved from Lemmy to piefed the block list was one the two things I wished to bring with me. I could not bring the other one (my posts/comments) but, hey, at least I was able to keep spam and trolls at bay ;)

Edit: clarifications.

Uhhh, none.....

I sort by all and curate that down to what I want to see. So, lots.

Only 14 for people and I can say for sure that 3 of those are alts of one person. Not sure how many of the others may be alts or even more alts of that one guy. Im a big block proponent but I don't believe in doing it casually with individuals. I do way more with communities but like half of that is because the language preference often does not seem to work.

None. I'm not a coward.
