Slightly over 100 for me. Along with people I dislike, I also like to block people on a whim even those i never interact with, so my block list is all over the place.
You must log in or register to comment.
My list of people blocked? Teeny-tiny. My list of instances and communities? Well, now we’ve hit the jackpot.
I instantly blocked any .ml community. Fuck those tankies.

I avoid most controversial comment threads since I’m not here for drama. I do have a few people I put user tags on if I see them have consistent bad takes or if they treat other people poorly so I can avoid interacting with them. There hasn’t been any need for me to actually block anyone.
This isn’t directed at you personally, but these threads pop up from time to time, and for how few people are active commenters here, to have 100 blocks and the need to share that feels like something of a red flag to me. I don’t think I’ve blocked more than a dozen people in about 30 years of being online.
I’m already wasting my time on this site and other “social media”, I don’t need to waste more of it by seeing shitty commenters regularly. You tag them to avoid, I block them to avoid. We are doing very similar actions, but I don’t even see them and waste my time reading the tag that tells me they suck
Idk. You do you but curating my online experience is not a red flag, it’s healthy
“People” as in actual humans? None, I think.
If I block those with frequent trash takes, I won’t get to downvote them next time. Other reasonable people would then see their future posts with higher scores.
I’d argue voting system is overrated.
I had quite a few comments downvoted into oblivion because my opinion was unpopular in some corners of Lemmy.
Like, go ahead and make a same political statement at .ml or .world, or come to some specific community to argue against the OP.
Or, in reverse, there are plenty of examples when hateful or wrong BS was upvoted to infinity.
I’ve seen this again and again with others, and I can confidently say voting is not a good metric for reason.
Not that many, just obvious bots/scams. The app I use has user tagging so I can assign a color tag and text tag per user. Red = for me, do not engage and yellow = for me, engage with caution.
I tend not to block real humans, even the trolls, because often times the responses are interesting to me. I’ve learned some real facts about my trans peeps here on Lemmy because some people took the time to give informative responses to the community’s benefit, despite the question being an obvious troll attempt.
Some of my tags include yellow for “AI slop spreader” and red for “TERFy troll”.
I found myself inadvertly doing the same thing. Only my color scheme is far from discipline. My basic think is like: “This comment is making me feel mauve.” Done.
Synesthetic vibes, I dig it. Your comment is very forest -> olive green. Which is good, FYI.
Can’t wait till I see a comment from you after I’ve forgotten about this moment. I won’t know what I was thinking, but the vibes will be right.
I’ve only blocked communities for AI-generated content and obvious spam. I haven’t blocked any users here yet and have almost never done that since I tend not to take the things they say personally and other people’s responses to them can be entertaining. There are some bots I’ve blocked too.
So all of dbshitter’s content?
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
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
None. I don’t remember who I’ve argued with online the next day. I do have lemmynsfw muted
Please master, tell me your secret
The world’s a big place. The Internet isn’t real life. One judges one’s self by one’s intention but judges others only by their actions.
“Why is lemmy such an echo chamber?”
“build your own echo chamber with this one neat trick”
Because it’s easier to build a community without excluding the assholes, and it’s easier to build an opinion without including opposing views.
I’ll start my own echo chamber, with
blackjackcat memes andhookersbeans (cat paw-beans)
Just depends on who you’re blocking. Sometimes it’s objectively obvious who’s just being a troll.
like 15, but 7 of them are alts of the same user
Edit: its closer to 30, extremely toxic people or propagandists
I used to just not block so I can downvote them when I see them, but its getting increasingly more toxic and I had to block them.
I have 4 users blocked, one instance and 4 communities.
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.
Because I’m not a fucking pussy.
Oh dear, now I’m wondering if I’m on your list or not :)
I only have two bot accounts blocked, not even sure if they’re still active.
