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.

I'm very quick to block. Much faster to do so than I was on Reddit. I think the reason is because there's so much less content on Lemmy that I sort by new instead of "hot". That means I see content that would normally have been downvoted out of sight on Reddit. I'm tired of giving people the benefit of the doubt just to see the same terrible shit from them again later on. Now I just block.

block and reporting on reddit is pretty futile, too much bots, and reporting too much, depending on the sub, you can get temp banned for doing it.

Yeah I hear you on all that
