I’ve heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don’t want to see. I imagine I’m not the only one curious how my total compares to others’
I’m at 142, and I’m unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total
Seven users, a bunch of communities and one instance.
just a couple of bots i dont care about and several mods i really dont care about
several mods
Lol blocking mods is so funny to me for some reason
Zero, I ain’t no bitch. But I have blocked a lot of pages. No anime or languages I don’t know or Linux shit for me.
I only got around to blocking subs that are in other languages in the last couple of months. I should have done so sooner.
I think that leaves star trek?
And cats
And wizards - by far the greatest community out there.
I’ve just blocked one spammy russia apologist who is extremely prolific. Although I am disappointed that the community tolerates them. I feel Lemmy has an unresolved Russia apologist problem.
3? I generally don’t care, but some people are insufferable. They spew nonsense meant only to get a rise out of others and have a chip on their shoulder. Interacting with their existence is a waste of mine, so bye bye.
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.
Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?
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.
Surprisingly few. I usually block people who think it’s a good idea to incorporate my comments into their witch hunt and go my way with a pitchfork. That is, those who use offensive or derogatory tone instead of arguments.
0
I think 0.
on my sh.itjust.works account I blocked a couple bots I think
None. I was on Reddit since 2008 and didn’t block anyone there either. If I argue with someone over trivial bullshit it doesn’t necessarily mean that they add nothing to every discussion they find themselves contributing to, so I just move on and just ignore them the old fashioned way.
I do block communities that are of absolutely no interest to me, but it has to be like 0% interest
a few dozen, mostly hexbear users. Though that was mostly from when I started using Lemmy, I haven’t felt the need to block anyone in a long time. My list of blocked communities is much larger.
0, I’m just raw dogging /all (minus whomever .world is defederated from)
I use Connect and tag users rather than block them. That way, I can still see stuff that’s posted but I have a hint as to whether or not they are someone with whom I want to interact.
That’s a good idea! I like Eternity’s UI too much to switch to an app with more features, unfortunately
Ach, totally fair.
That’s a feature I didn’t know I needed. Too bad Connect is proprietary IIRC
Boost also has a tagging feature. Their Lemmy app may be even better than their old reddit app.
So does Thunder.
