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
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
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 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).

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’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).
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
Blocked
I mod several communities so I never block people, because I want to see their posts and comments
Apparently, I block to curate a better-than-the-other-place experience, if the 200+ users, 100+ communities, and couple dozen instances I’ve blocked over the last 2+ yrs are any sign.
Mostly asshats & bots, and a zero-tolerance for hexbear, blahaj, ani/midwest/etc.social, feddit, yiffit, et al., but I’m open to suggestions, as well. 😂
why blahaj ? aren’t they mostly a nice queer bunch ?
That’s what I read as well, and it sounded like a genuinely lovely place, but after dozens of nearly consecutive user blocks from there, I was compelled to just call it. 🥲🙇🏽♂️
I never do unless they are a clear scam/troll account. No matter how much i disagree with their opinions, i still want to see it and engage with them, for fear of being the architect of my own echo chamber
Do it sparsingly, if you don’t want to create your own little echo chamber.
I do it mostly for bots/shills i’ve reported.
