I use blocklists a hell of a lot. This should be a mandatory feature for all social media. Reddit is unbearable without it. Also need to use it on Lemmy quite a bit. On reddit I was at almost 200 words in the filter. Lemmy is also building slowly.
I only have 15 user accounts in my blocked list, although that is because PieFed allows blocking all users from an instance, so I have blocked all from lemmy.ml (and PieFed.social is already defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad).
Having to go through and block so many people individually was just far too much of a pain - I can see why people leave Lemmy over exactly this issue (and then complain about Lemmy over on Reddit for being somehow even more toxic than there - the trick is that once you get the blocklist right then the average interaction is better on the Threadiverse, though truthfully the maximally worst ones are also here as well, extremely unfortunately especially in terms of our growth or rather lack thereof).
It’s incredibly rare for me to block users. It’s all keyword blocks (e.g. Elon). Some domains like dailymail were good to block, but I don’t think Boost lets me do that.
