Slightly over 100 for me. Along with people I dislike, I also like to block people on a whim even those i never interact with, so my block list is all over the place.

    I block spammers and scammers… but when taking about real “I incredibly really dislike this person” kind of blocking, then that is 1.

    He is like my shadow, completely opposite of how I would ever act with people. It drives me nuts every time I see a message from him since what he desires, I also desire, but he does it so so much worse in a way I would never do it.

    We interacted once. Got kind of a negative-ish jokingly response, so I checked their history and… Yeah no.

    There is also tons of other things I just clash with him on too, like some idealistic views…

    In my eyes, he downgrades the community VASTLY with his hot takes, negativity and ignorance, but others disagree… so I block him

    Zero. Even if I vehemently disagree with someone I am still willing to see what they said.

    I think echo chambers and “bubbles” are incredibly dangerous.

      And it’s pretty easy to crawl into a random chamber without even noticing it. In fediverse that’s a lot less of a concern, but on algorithmic driven platforms I’ve caught myself couple of times in a hole I didn’t notice I dug myself in.

    On lemmy? None. I don’t want an echo chamber.

    Edit: Actually, I have blocked a few repost bots, but that’s not people

    I haven’t blocked anyone yet. Haven’t had enough of a problem to warrant the effort.

    I did add a tag to one guy out of curiosity and now im seeing him everywhere

    About a dozen people.

    Communities, on the other hand, is a far higher number. I don’t know the number but it’s all the anime, AI, and furry communities.

    My list of people blocked? Teeny-tiny. My list of instances and communities? Well, now we’ve hit the jackpot.

    Hundreds. Comms, instances, users…

    Reasons are everything from AI slop to US politics to folks posting pages upon pages of the same content. I also block comms and instances where I don’t speak the main language.

    Why is no one asking why you also just block random people for no discernible reason? I don’t know how to check my block list, but I don’t think I have anyone blocked (but maybe there is one or two). I have a shitton of instances blocked because I don’t want to see porn in my feed though. I have no qualms with users of porn commuties or letting them do what they want, but that isn’t what I’m interested in or want to see.

      It is OPs right to block for any reason what so ever but that line stuck out as some sort of mental issue lol
