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.

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).

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.

About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn't appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don't have time for the stupid and hateful kind.

Only 16 user. I don't have an issue with most people. However since I brows mostly new content from All, I got to block some communities (166 so far) or I'll see gay/trans content, content in foreign languages or Russian propaganda. I don't have anything personal per se against the former, I'm not homophobic, I just don't want to see nude males constantly. Other trans communities are just fine, like when they do memes or news.

Sadly the later part, Lemmy is basically Reddit/r/worldnews but worse and spread over multiple communities without curation, allowing for a lot of propaganda. I don't need content of people telling me that communism, which failed in their shit hole of a country, is the answer to capitalism.

However I see that this is a constant battle of the instance owner trying to keep ahead, so some of those are probably blocked instance wide already by now.

This will become less of an issue once the content we subscribed to is more and therefore we don't need to brows All to get enough entertainment. It's getting better by the day.

So far, 177 users, 68 instances and 1526 communities.

143, you are blocked for inane questioning.

I think I blocked a bot once, if that counts.

But I don't block people on any sites unless they start spamming me in DMs or whatever. I don't see the point of blocking people otherwise.

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.

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.

A few dozen users, mostly bots or people posting in non-English with their accounts setup incorrectly to tag it as English.

Actual humans who I think are idiots or trolls, I'm more likely to just tag them instead of blocking them. I see the tag and it reminds me not to waste my time answering them, but I can still see other people making interesting responses. Like there's a chronically depressed dude who posts frequently, asks for advice, then insults anyone who replies. He caught me twice, then I tagged him and I no longer take his bait. But some other people who reply to him have genuinely good comments and I can still see them.

just a couple of bots i dont care about and several mods i really dont care about

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.

I dunno, the browser lags when I scroll down it.

It's trivial to build huge ones up. This account is only as old as the reddit bullshit in 23, and I know I'm over a hundred at least.

Humans are assholes. On the internet, they don't work as hard to pretend they're not. And, they'll often go harder at it than anywhere else. So you block a lot if you want to avoid future interactions with the same asshole.

Just 11 for me, all spambots. Luckily, I've not had many problems with real people around here.

I don’t think I’ve added to the list in months.

zero, across all platforms

I'm probably less but I have all of Lemmy.world blocked because it is moded by the kinds of people another instance would block for being an asshole

A few. Mostly extremist mods who censor a comment I made that didn't fit their echo chamber. They seem to feel the need to message you after, to reiterate they only allow their views to be expressed, and to flex. I just block em.

0, I’m just raw dogging /all (minus whomever .world is defederated from)

Just a handful...

Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn't be able to read anyway.

and just a few users, who are big spammers.

None, I don't think it's worthwhile to block users and create some kind of filtered bubble or echo chamber. To me, if you try to silence someone, you're afraid of what they have to say.

I think 0.

on my sh.itjust.works account I blocked a couple bots I think

I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.

But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.

All of lemmy.world which is now blocked on my instance.

How do you find these numbers?

Edit:

Users 55 Communities 12 Instances 0

Edit #2:

BTW, this was easy to find in the default interface for my instance (Settings > Block tab) but I still can't find it on Photon. 😆

133 communities and just 45 users. An old alt of mine is among them for a reason I can't recall. Login trouble or something?

Edited for fat fingers.
