How many people do you have blocked?
-
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.
About 20 people, mostly Nicole variations and a bunch of trolls.
About 175 communities. I have absolutely no interest in sports, anime or related, and I'm very limited in the foreign languages I speak.

I'll start my own echo chamber, with

I sort by all and curate that down to what I want to see. So, lots.

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 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".

One, with another account I'll block if I see them again, but I'm fairly certain they're the same person. These accounts are a teenager asking any sexual question that pop into their mind.
I get being curious, but if you've seen Mickey/Michael around you already know it's a bit much.

I have a few. Mostly annoying ad hominem assholes.

Mildly offended I've only gotten one Nicole spam experience to date. What am I, chopped liver?

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.

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.
Your account is less than one day old. How you do?

Synesthetic vibes, I dig it. Your comment is very forest -> olive green. Which is good, FYI.

"Why is lemmy such an echo chamber?"
Just depends on who you’re blocking. Sometimes it’s objectively obvious who’s just being a troll.
-

Probably migrated instances

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?

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.

About a hundred. The list used to be thousands of users long when I tried filtering out everyone pushing extremist policies or just being hostile in general - but it turns out that’s most people here, since my feed completely died down. Now I’m trying a different approach: blocking only the worst offenders and using keyword-based content filtering to hide the comments that poison my mind.
AI-powered content filtering can’t come soon enough. Even keyword filtering is a blunt tool. I’d rather just describe the kind of content I don’t want to see and have it filtered out before it ever reaches me. I’m sick of how angry everyone is here. Most people probably don’t notice it much since it’s usually directed at people they dislike too, but anger hits me differently. I don’t like feeling that emotion, and I don’t like being around angry people.
