I try to give the most grace possible. I’ve only ever blocked two users here. That said, I’d totally understand why someone might block me.
none yet
I’m not gonna just willy nilly block people… already too low userbase, I kinda wanna just see the drama
Like even that user asking weird age gap questions is part of the entertainment lol
But if they start being overtly toxic… yea I’m just gonna block and ignore
Thats reasonable.
Originally I didn’t like blocking people or communities at all but I’ve realised the lemmy experience is dramatically improved by blocking idiots.
The thing is lemmy is a relatively small community. If some nutter posts and comments every day they can really shape your impression of the place.
Some users have very little life experience, and depth of understanding, and are just fixated on some single issue. I’m not here to argue with that type of user.
Yesterday I blocked a community just because the single mod didn’t understand the problems caused by editorialising titles when posting articles.
Editorializing articles? Name and shame.

The reality of what’s going on provides enough to legitimately complain about. Making up headlines is just cheap outrage farming and undermines any credibility.
If you feel the title is misleading then you can absolutely complain about that in the comments.
Thanks for that.
ive blocked some users who posted the same crap 7 times a day, and the one who uses that weird character to replace every “th”
I’m very happy to block communities, much less so to block an individual. They’ve got to be consistently spammy for me to get annoyed enough to block.
tankies one i will almost always block if i see thier comment, its never a good comment(its almost whining about the “not far left”. only .ml i give benefit of a doubt, due,apparently alot of them have an .ml as a solely techy account and not a political one.
Mostly block people that I think are taking up too much space on my feed
Fair
Not often. I browse by new all so I can begin the downvote train as early as possible and report stuff.
Hell yeah
In the trenches with a shovel and a packed snack. Fuckyeah. 🤘🏻
I never tried to block anyone because I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to strangers on the internet. Well, except that guy that replaced all his "th"s with “þ”. That was annoying and if he didn’t give up on it, get banned, or otherwise disappear I might have learned how to block someone.
I do recall blocking the thorn guy from my previous account. So that’s a downside to establishing a new Lemmy account. All the users I’d blocked are now roaming freely in my feed again.
Honestly that dude and the person super into dragon sex are actually the best trolls I’ve met. 100% harmless and it’s wild how many people DON’T just hit the block button when they find them annoying. They’re like a built in litmus test for whether a Lemmy user is a fully developed adult who can avoid getting entangled in dumb conversations (which apparently you are).
I only block people who consistently post things I don’t want to see or people who spam post the same thing eleventy billion times in different communities.
Personally I’ve thought about blocking you and violet for the horny posting but it’s amusing enough that I haven’t yet.
I never block anyone. I just tag people so I know who I’m dealing with the next time I encounter them.
Btw I have you tagged too
Hell yeah
What do you have me tagged as ??
Nothing yet. But I’m sure your paths will cross in the future in some discussion and I will get to judge your whole life and personality based on a few comments and probably get you labelled as someone you’re not, because that’s how the internet works.
you motherfucker …!!
i blocked everyone in this thread
lalala can’t hear you you’re blocked
Good
Life is too short to deal with assholes and bots. They get blocked very quickly.
When I made this account, I went through the communities and blocked a lot of them. All sports, foreign languages, anime, and furries. All the content I know that I have no interest in.
Yeah I block communities pretty frequently because I sort by new. Usually porn.
ani.social is…weird. I block the entire instance.
ani.social is…weird
Yes. It’s like they’ve never heard of tagging.
I block them to keep myself from posting the “if those kids could read” meme each time someone asks them to use tags.

Idiot
Будьте здоровы
being from reddit, i often block as soon as possible, and report alot. the latter burned my accounts, so i dont report here at all.
I don’t recall reporting anyone on Lemmy. I do see users getting banned so either other users are reporting or the mods are very active.
Yes, I’ve blocked some people, but it’s mostly communities.
Same. 28 users blocked. Far more communities in my list.

Have you blocked me yet? If not, it might save time to do it now…
Lmao
If I find someone who speaks with reddit sarcasm, I’m blocking them
Lmao, regardless of community or context? I also don’t know the difference between sarcasm and reddit sarcasm.

I mean, alright I guess.
I have not really had to block til recently. Esp attention seekers who have just joined and are posting immature crap.
I would say i have blocked at least 5 in the last 2 weeks.
Gotta pump those numbers up! There are dozens of users who somehow think they’re still in that other place. Dozens!
I’m lightning fast the moment I realize someone is only looking to either
- be toxic, or worse
- waste my time, troll me.
For the rest I don’t block individuals, nor instances (I can have issue with people, but I don’t want to condemn the entire population of their instance).
