    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.

        My list of people blocked? Teeny-tiny. My list of instances and communities? Well, now we've hit the jackpot.

          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.

            33 but most of those are spam accounts. Actual people are hardcore tankies and the usual bigoted/racist shitheads. Maybe about 7 people I think?

              A number, but they're mostly posting bots and people who are prolific gay porn posters (or other porn that I don't want to see).

                  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.

                        14 communities and 6 users. I mainly browse by Local/New no it’s usually overzealous new communities that veer too close to spam trying to generate content for the community. I try and wait them out but sometimes I just give up.

                        On the user side I think it’s mostly all alts for one troll

                          I've blocked a few repost bots, but I think only one human-controlled account.

                            4 users 1 instance. Mostly propaganda spammers. I wouldnt mind if the things they posted were high quality and thought provoking but its the lowest tier slop journalism and opinion pieces from people with no subject matter expertise.

                              Only about fifteen or so. A few are bot accounts that I don't want to see, a few sent me spam during the whole Fediverse Chick thing, and the last few are just regular people who aren't doing anything necessarily wrong but who I just find tiresome and unpleasant in some way or another

                                  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.

                                      I've got PugJesus and like three other people.

                                      My blocked instances and communities, however, are too long to count. Probably well over a hundred.

                                        Because it's easier to build a community without excluding the assholes, and it's easier to build an opinion without including opposing views.
