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.
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

Zero.
Because I'm not a fucking pussy.

I only block people if they actively harass me online. Otherwise, I'm fine with disagreement and do not tend to rage ban.
Still, if someone follows me around Lemmy to spite on everything, I'd rather have them blocked to keep this place nicer.
Oh, and there's Nicole in there, of course.

I'm sitting on 40 blocks in 2 years. It's almost entirely assholes who have trouble with reading comprehension or who like to attack people on a whim.

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.
PugJesus is like 90% of the actually interesting content on here.

None, but I do tag trolls and other kinds of idiots, so I can avoid replying to them but still read what they're up to.

"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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

Hundreds. Comms, instances, users...
Reasons are everything from AI slop to US politics to folks posting pages upon pages of the same content. I also block comms and instances where I don't speak the main language.

I have 4 users blocked, one instance and 4 communities.

Very few myself. I only block people if I see them as actively wanting to do harm to me

Why is no one asking why you also just block random people for no discernible reason? I don't know how to check my block list, but I don't think I have anyone blocked (but maybe there is one or two). I have a shitton of instances blocked because I don't want to see porn in my feed though. I have no qualms with users of porn commuties or letting them do what they want, but that isn't what I'm interested in or want to see.

You can export settings and blocks from your old account to a new one. The users here tend to be pretty privacy-minded, so not wanting to put all your eggs in one basket is probably a common mindset. That’s why I ditch my old accounts once they hit around 1000 comments and start fresh on a different instance to lose the tail. It’s too easy to become “famous” on a platform this small. I’m sure many people like that - I don’t.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Exactly this. Though I'll probably keep the instance (like it enough to donate after all) and just cut the identity loose. Gives me a chance to evolve my voice as life changes. Allows me to be honest about my experiences without building any kind of identifiable profile. Or having to worry about airport security searching my phone and finding something I said two years ago about Trump.

About a dozen people.
Communities, on the other hand, is a far higher number. I don't know the number but it's all the anime, AI, and furry communities.

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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
