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.
None, I donβt think Iβve ever blocked anyone on any social media except bots on Facebook and discord
No users.
A bunch of those lemmit online communities.
A few other communities that tend to mostly just be identity politics arguments.
None. I'm pretty lax about blocking people and haven't yet encountered anyone worth blocking.
I haven't blocked any communities or instances since the instance I created my account on has defederated from lemmy.world and .ca. I've considered blocking sh.itjust.works but I've successfully avoided them so far.
150 users, 118 communities.
I'm at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I'd block for that.
I disagree with most people most of the time, I'm a stranger in a strange land
No single users, but hexbear.net, monero.town and ani.social. While the first two are obvious good choices, I have to add that I don't hate anime, I am just really not interested.
6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.
I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.
I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I've blocked might have posts I'm interested in, but there's currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.
I'd also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There's a handful of topics I don't care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.
And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that's more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).
None. I don't engage enough for it to be an issue. I also know how to move on with real life if things get spicy (which happened on Reddit a lot).
Two. And one of those was Blog Oklahoma cause I was tired of seeing their submissions and didn't wanna block the community. I think blocking should be reserved for people who are obvious trolls only. I like to drink from the firehose.
151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don't care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).
I go raw, I trust my instance to defederate from the worst of it, but otherwise I don't block people, communities or anything. I also browse by all and while I subscribe to communities it's more for the future or something, because for now there's just not enough content to curate my feed really.
It's all good though because I switched to other sources for my specialist content (mainly YouTube) and Lemmy is just there for my obsessive scrolling.
None? I've never felt the need to. I'm not categorically opposed to it, but it's never occurred to me that I should block a particular user.
0 to date. So far, everyone has respected being ignored.
I only see the communities and instances I subscribe to, anyway. The local ones right when I log in too, but that's all surrealism and hacker stuff on my instance, which I'm partial to.
1 instance (can you guess which one?)
around 100-150 communities (mostly because they are in a language i dont speak)
and like, 5-6 users. a couple bots, and a couple far-right cringebros. used to have a whole lot more, but i recently unblocked everyone and am now less agressive with the block button
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.

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.
