I try to give the most grace possible. I’ve only ever blocked two users here. That said, I’d totally understand why someone might block me.
I’m not gonna just willy nilly block people… already too low userbase, I kinda wanna just see the drama
Like even that user asking weird age gap questions is part of the entertainment lol
But if they start being overtly toxic… yea I’m just gonna block and ignore

Not often. I browse by new all so I can begin the downvote train as early as possible and report stuff.

In the trenches with a shovel and a packed snack. Fuckyeah. 🤘🏻
Life is too short to deal with assholes and bots. They get blocked very quickly.
When I made this account, I went through the communities and blocked a lot of them. All sports, foreign languages, anime, and furries. All the content I know that I have no interest in.

ani.social is…weird. I block the entire instance.

Yes. It’s like they’ve never heard of tagging.
I block them to keep myself from posting the “if those kids could read” meme each time someone asks them to use tags.
being from reddit, i often block as soon as possible, and report alot. the latter burned my accounts, so i dont report here at all.
I don’t recall reporting anyone on Lemmy. I do see users getting banned so either other users are reporting or the mods are very active.
Yes, I’ve blocked some people, but it’s mostly communities.
Same. 28 users blocked. Far more communities in my list.
I have not really had to block til recently. Esp attention seekers who have just joined and are posting immature crap.
I would say i have blocked at least 5 in the last 2 weeks.
Gotta pump those numbers up! There are dozens of users who somehow think they’re still in that other place. Dozens!
I don’t block, I label them with a tag, usually ‘asswipe’.

The left lemmy vibe is very-much bipolar.
You could post identical comments 10 minutes apart and one could be downvoted to oblivion whilst the other is top comment.
the tankies are the problems, they behave too similar like conservatives.
Might be the unironic usage of “whilst”? 😅😶
Tankie and Energy Vampire are my two go to tags. I only block spammers or anything horrific like the couple times some assholes did CSAM attacks.
Yup, once I figured out I could tag users I started doing that instead. Much better to be prepared than to just choose blindness.
Generally I’m a bit more specific though.
I’m very quick to block. Much faster to do so than I was on Reddit. I think the reason is because there’s so much less content on Lemmy that I sort by new instead of “hot”. That means I see content that would normally have been downvoted out of sight on Reddit. I’m tired of giving people the benefit of the doubt just to see the same terrible shit from them again later on. Now I just block.

block and reporting on reddit is pretty futile, too much bots, and reporting too much, depending on the sub, you can get temp banned for doing it.
I only block for one reason: egregious crossposting. Don’t post the same thing in four communities.
Isn’t that the point of cross posting in the first place, to share a cross multiple communities?
That’s why they said egregious.
Piefed fixes this by combining them into one post.
A shame that it seems apps are slow to integrate that combining feature though.
I prefer them not being combined, so I have a better idea who to block.

ive blocked some users who posted the same crap 7 times a day, and the one who uses that weird character to replace every “th”
I think that all of the people I’ve blocked for a reason that I can recall have been users who were repeatedly spamming comments in threads to try to make them unreadable for other users. One was just commenting over and over with a couple of giant inline Simpsons images.

No; I’m not subscribed to any communities that deal with trolling. I wasn’t even aware that there were any out there.
deleted by creator
Oh. I don’t mean people posting memes or reaction gifs or stuff like that. I don’t recall the specifics of the community, though.
EDIT: Though the only meme community I subscribe to is !linuxmemes@lemmy.world.
I tag first
Yep.
I haven’t blocked anyone, but I have people tagged with 🤡 or 💩 if they’re a troll, a shill, and ass, etc.
Don’t forget 🇮🇱 and 🇷🇺

I’m lightning fast the moment I realize someone is only looking to either
- be toxic, or worse
- waste my time, troll me.
For the rest I don’t block individuals, nor instances (I can have issue with people, but I don’t want to condemn the entire population of their instance).
The only person I’ve (reported and) blocked was posting csam.

Please report spam also.
I do, but (in my client) messages are still displayed if I report them. That’s why in this case I also needed to block the user.
The posts will appear until mods review/remove. I want to use this moment to thank the current insurance from which I’m posting global mod, @kindenough@kbin.earth for seemingly never sleeping and very quickly removing nuisance posts like spam and porn/adjacent that leaks from their designated communities, and owner, @jwr1@kbin.earth for quickly addressing issues I’ve had using the web interface . The other instances on which I’m active mods/admins are also pretty great, but since I’m currently posting from kbin, I’ll leave it at that.
never encountered one like that? was it a specific community.
I’m very happy to block communities, much less so to block an individual. They’ve got to be consistently spammy for me to get annoyed enough to block.
tankies one i will almost always block if i see thier comment, its never a good comment(its almost whining about the “not far left”. only .ml i give benefit of a doubt, due,apparently alot of them have an .ml as a solely techy account and not a political one.
I’ve only blocked a few people, but I’m quick to tag people as assholes/MAGA
deleted by creator
I only block people who consistently post things I don’t want to see or people who spam post the same thing eleventy billion times in different communities.
Personally I’ve thought about blocking you and violet for the horny posting but it’s amusing enough that I haven’t yet.
