Phhht. Curating my own feed baby. I block people, subs, sites. Whatever it takes.

Rude, blocked.

Life is too short to deal with annoyance you don’t have to. Block liberally.

Eww, a Pawb.Social account??

Blocked.

I try to only block the spammy kind, not the ones that I simply disagree with.

I was blocked by an entire Lemmy front-end.

Blocked OP

I block chronic reposters. When I see the same post 5 times a look at the posters profile and if it's the same post for pages I block them. I don't usually block the assholes because it's important to see what bullshit they're spewing.

I think it's okay that people block each other for petty things. Only don't be surprised if you're sitting in a room by yourself one day. People do this everyday socially. Let's pretend that nothing in the last few months didn't happen and why is this happening?

I only block tankies and the biggest of assholes.

I block all those weird thirsty accounts that always reach the front page. If I wanna spank the monkey, I'll decide it on my own time and have way better places to do it.

My previous instance blocked lemmy.world and other big instances. Why? I had to migrate because 2/3 of my subscribed communities were gone

People become drunk on power, I smite thee. In your attack on me you attack the world and this I cannot have.

Lemmings are proud of their little echo chambers and love to announce it to the world when they blocked someone. That's why we get insanely violent and hateful takes so regularly here. Many here often whine about popular social media, but this place is in some respects far worse. I'd say 10% are full-on psychopaths.

Some anti spam meassures are not as good here as on major sites.

I generally like the openness so it doesn't bother me I sometimes need to take matter into my own hands and block, but if my timeline is full of one idiot posting the same unfitting spamm in ALL communities, they get blocked fast. That's what the button is for.

Tbh i block many people just because they only post like anime memes/comics and stuffs that into communities that i'd otherwise want to follow. Why not? Its not like they will be sad that randomuser#1341576915 blocked them, and it's nothing against them, just the content they make is annoying or inapproperiate to me and this place is all about that. I'm pretty sure they'd rather have this than other people going into their comments and insult or be rude to them for absolutely no reason, that's just dick move. Someone may block me after reading my comment just because i don't like anime stuffs, and why not? If they think my personality can annoy them in the future while seeing nothing relevant in me, why would they not be allowed to simply choose to not get any of my thoughts at all.

Blocking, edits, and downvotes are signs of weakness. An honorable poster exposes themselves to all takes while incessantly spewing their own

That being said I'd block the reddit repost llm guy if he'd stick with one account long enough for it to make a difference lol

I somehow have zero people blocked so far. But over on Reddit? I had a list of over a thousand people. Lemmy in general is way more civil than Reddit has become.

Yeah? So? I mean, I don’t want to read the stupid shite of people who get angry when I use the word “cocksucker” in a negative way.

Because it’s either that or leaving the Fediverse for good. Most times I read more sensible stuff on fucking TikTok instead of here. Not gonna expose myself to this pretentiousness.
