Only about two or three here on this site. I don’t mind people who believe strange and disturbing things, politically or otherwise. It’s the deliberate trolls that I block.

I’ve blocked quite a bit. But mostly NSFW stuff and bot accounts. Only a few communities that don’t fit that - mostly ones I thought were annoying

11. all of them, as far as i can recall, are bots. most of them just reddit repost spam bots.

No single users, but hexbear.net, monero.town and ani.social. While the first two are obvious good choices, I have to add that I don’t hate anime, I am just really not interested.

I’ve just blocked one spammy russia apologist who is extremely prolific. Although I am disappointed that the community tolerates them. I feel Lemmy has an unresolved Russia apologist problem.

Tons of communities. I don’t think any users though. Some I know are trolls but if I don’t challenge them, then they may influence people who aren’t as aware of their agenda.

Mostly on this account I’ve blocked tons of porn and anime and sports.

My NSFW account I block anything not porn and all the porn I’m not interested in.

I won’t block different perspectives. If I disagree I disagree and move on, but why block somebody? I think it is important to have your believes challenged.

Few outright spam accounts. Anything I find offensive enough to warrant a block is usually bannable anyway.

143, you are blocked for inane questioning.

Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?

I think I blocked a bot once, if that counts.

But I don’t block people on any sites unless they start spamming me in DMs or whatever. I don’t see the point of blocking people otherwise.

I’m at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I’d block for that.

I disagree with most people most of the time, I’m a stranger in a strange land

I haven’t blocked a single anything, but I don’t feel like I’ve had a reason to or even run into anything questionable so far.

I don’t understand why it seems so common. Are people having issues on other servers?

6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.

I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.

I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I’ve blocked might have posts I’m interested in, but there’s currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.

I’d also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There’s a handful of topics I don’t care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.

And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that’s more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).

Zero, I ain’t no bitch. But I have blocked a lot of pages. No anime or languages I don’t know or Linux shit for me.
