I always felt like it was wrong to block an account unless it was smth absolutely insane. Nazis etc.

But now I'm blocking people who's tone I dont like, or who are baiting or actingnin bad faith.

I know I can't do it as a mod. But i can certainly do it as an individual now. Judgy comment? Blocked. Unnecessarily confrontational? Blocked.

This is new to me, literally 3 days. Wonder how this affects my feed. Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can't see it. I wish they couldn't see anything I posted either.

What are your blocking habits? If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?

I wish there was a hide posts option, rather than a flat out block. There are some overly prolific posters that i would like to block, but their comments are not an issue, just the 40 rapid fire posts they make everyday.

    Or even more granular. There's folks that make a large number of posts that I do like in some comms, and a large number of ones I don't care about in other comms.

    If they're the main one making low effort posts in the Weevil community or whatever, but everyone else is great, it would be preferable to prune the community for myself instead of blocking it or them.

    I still think they're a net positive for Lemmy and want to interact with them, just we may not like all the same things in the exact same way.
