I’ve heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don’t want to see. I imagine I’m not the only one curious how my total compares to others’
I’m at 142, and I’m unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total
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 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.
Same, I block communities but have yet to block a person.

All of lemmy.world which is now blocked on my instance.
Curious why that is
Lol I blocked flying squid too
I thought I’m alone. A rather obnoxious person just plainly refusing to reason.
no idea how to check block list, it’s mostly just people who think personal attacks are acceptable. I have zero tolerance for idiots in my old age and it makes life so much better.
143, you are blocked for inane questioning.

None. I’m pretty lax about blocking people and haven’t yet encountered anyone worth blocking.
I haven’t blocked any communities or instances since the instance I created my account on has defederated from lemmy.world and .ca. I’ve considered blocking sh.itjust.works but I’ve successfully avoided them so far.
Even when the belief being challenged is your right to exist? I personally don’t entertain such perspectives
I think it’s bad for my mental health to be regularly exposed to extremely bad takes and hateful content, and blocking them prevents me from seeing them again in the future.
And my client doesn’t support tagging, so blocking them is a safe way to ensure I don’t accidentally waste my time reading the opinion of someone with historically shit opinions
Something I’ve noticed recently on Lemmy is that if you mention your own mental health, people immediately take it seriously, and I think that’s so fucking cool. What a great place; thanks for being who you are
150 users, 118 communities.
None, I don’t think I’ve ever blocked anyone on any social media except bots on Facebook and discord
151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don’t care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).
So far just one and that user was banned so the block doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t really have a reason to block users, I just blocked that one user because they were spamming some images and videos that had “extreme” content.
