Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?

Bonus question: how long is your block list?

    I don’t on Lemmy because it doesn’t really do anything besides hiding their posts. On Mastodon I block people who are AI trolls, political trolls, reactionaries, and in general people who are hostile. People who are objectively horrible people, sometimes it’s because I see them doing it, but other times because they lashed out directly at me. Most blocks on Mastodon are preceded by reports to server admins but I still block them because it usually takes time for people to be moderated.

      That’s what I need it to do. Out of my sight. Doesn’t matter if they can still see my posts. I hope they write me a lot of long and nasty messages that I never see.

        You don’t find it limiting you can only talk to people who fit your understanding of acceptable conversation?
