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?

      How about language issues? I dont browse all bc half the time I dont get the languages. Changing the language is apparently buggy on Lemmy.

      Also blocking instances doesn’t cut it.

      I may have to start doing this. I’ve subscribed to enough that I see enough to keep me occupied, and if I don’t I go to All and add anything that I find particularly interesting. This mean I miss new things I might really enjoy unless I’m not as occupied with my current subscription list. This could be better.
