My user block list on Lemmy is much smaller, and grows at a slower rate, than my list on Reddit.
However, my community block list is growing fast here. Mostly, it’s foreign language comms I can’t read, though. That, and sportsball, cars, drugs, and games I’ll never play.
I havent blocked anyone yet, but i have started using the tag feature for “probable prick”. Mostly for people who’ve took 3 or 4 logical leaps to attack me instead of my point. Maybe its just something theyre super passionate about, maybe I didnt make the point well enough and gave the wrong impression.
If I see a “probable prick” going hard at someone for no good reason they’ll be blocked.
Im using voyager, it might be different or unavailable in others, but click the user’s name to go to their post history bit, then theres 3 dots at the top-right and you can edit their tag there.
It just comes up with a little bit of text by their name with the tag you put. My first test with this was to put “ball fondler” on a random guy, and now I see him everywhere here.

My block list gains new politics related communities every day

All you need to do on reddit is block five or so power users and bam 99.999% of annoying fuckshit is gone.
I’ve blocked a lot of communities out of annoyance. Someone will have an idea for a community, create it, and instantly add around 20 posts.
One or two a day would have been fine, but when my entire page is from one community? Nope.
