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 hardly ever block individual posters, but communities, I've blocked 936 of them at the time of making this post. Sports, porn, anime, or furry shit are all block on sight. Plus a handful of randoms that I'm just not interested in.

I've finally got All where it's pleasant to browse. Takes some doing, but worth the effort if you want to customize your feed reductively vs actively seeking out and subscribing to communities.

I never even considered using All...

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.

That accounts for a good chunk of the blocks as well.

This is one of those one-bite-at-a-time projects - just hit a few on each visit, it adds up.

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.
