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
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.
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.
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.
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)?
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.
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.
Surprisingly few. I usually block people who think it’s a good idea to incorporate my comments into their witch hunt and go my way with a pitchfork. That is, those who use offensive or derogatory tone instead of arguments.
150 users, 118 communities.
- all of them, as far as i can recall, are bots. most of them just reddit repost spam bots.
This. You can usually spot bots from their low- value click bait. (“should cannibalism be legal?”,“why does God allow evil to exist?”,“Trump is a genius”, etc).
Few outright spam accounts. Anything I find offensive enough to warrant a block is usually bannable anyway.
So far, 177 users, 68 instances and 1526 communities.
1526 communities. Wow that’s a lot. Is there anything left?
Everything that’s not meme, anime, manga, politics, sports, porn, dei related.
4 so far, one bot and one flying squid included. Can’t remember why I blocked the other two.
Lol I blocked flying squid too
I thought I’m alone. A rather obnoxious person just plainly refusing to reason.
About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn’t appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don’t have time for the stupid and hateful kind.
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
No users.
A bunch of those lemmit online communities.
A few other communities that tend to mostly just be identity politics arguments.
