I donβt think Iβve added to the list in months.
I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.
But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.

1 instance (can you guess which one?)
around 100-150 communities (mostly because they are in a language i dont speak)
and like, 5-6 users. a couple bots, and a couple far-right cringebros. used to have a whole lot more, but i recently unblocked everyone and am now less agressive with the block button
no users, but i have blocked 117 (mostly porn) communities and 2 entire instances
One. I was tired of their posts never loading for whatever reason and they were a prominent poster in a community.
I think 0.
on my sh.itjust.works account I blocked a couple bots I think
I'm probably less but I have all of Lemmy.world blocked because it is moded by the kinds of people another instance would block for being an asshole
Two. And one of those was Blog Oklahoma cause I was tired of seeing their submissions and didn't wanna block the community. I think blocking should be reserved for people who are obvious trolls only. I like to drink from the firehose.
So far, I haven't blocked any users. But I have blocked lemmit.online, because I don't want to see auto-reposts from Reddit, as well as three communities I don't want appearing on my frontpage for different reasons. (Important to note I'm very new)
0, Iβm just raw dogging /all (minus whomever .world is defederated from)
Seven users, a bunch of communities and one instance.
Just a handful...
Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn't be able to read anyway.
and just a few users, who are big spammers.
A few. Mostly extremist mods who censor a comment I made that didn't fit their echo chamber. They seem to feel the need to message you after, to reiterate they only allow their views to be expressed, and to flex. I just block em.
Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.
None, I don't think it's worthwhile to block users and create some kind of filtered bubble or echo chamber. To me, if you try to silence someone, you're afraid of what they have to say.
Looks like I've blocked 2? One for bigotry reasons I can't recall, and the other for being just having annoying posting habits (applying a license to every comment like those facebook chainletters).
Surprisingly few. I usually block people who think it's a good idea to incorporate my comments into their witch hunt and go my way with a pitchfork. That is, those who use offensive or derogatory tone instead of arguments.
None? I've never felt the need to. I'm not categorically opposed to it, but it's never occurred to me that I should block a particular user.
13 blocked users, 10 blocked communities, 2 blocked instances.
The blocked users are just trolls looking for arguments.
The blocked communities are mainly ones on my home instance that have no interest for me, but were appearing in "Local". Nothing against them, just no interest.
The blocked instances were ones that brigaded sensitive topics with political fanaticism. I was finding myself trying to have discussions with people who weren't open to it, but would fiercely respond to any criticism of a viewpoint.
Every moe community that popped up. A few other communities for season ranging from stupid to vile atrocity.
One instance (a mostly moe server)I guess
A couple dozen users.
How do you find these numbers?
Edit:
Users 55 Communities 12 Instances 0
Edit #2:
BTW, this was easy to find in the default interface for my instance (Settings > Block tab) but I still can't find it on Photon. π
There's probably a better way but...
Open the page, right click, inspect, paste these in there and possibly expand the node list for users.
Users
document.querySelectorAll('.person-listing')
Comunities:
document.querySelectorAll('.community-link')
I had 0 users, but 69 communities.

I manually counted them by counting how many in the list fit on my screen at one time (15 for me on Eternity), then seeing how many screens worth of scrolling I had to do to get to the bottom, and multiplying
Well played.
I browse by all, so mostly I've just blocked a shit ton of porn instances, communities, and accounts.
133 communities and just 45 users. An old alt of mine is among them for a reason I can't recall. Login trouble or something?
Edited for fat fingers.

I have blocked 37 users (on this account). I haven't had any need to block communities nor instances, thankfully enough.
I usually block users for being spammy, or outright just spamming shit. Otherwise, I tend to treat blocking as the nuclear option which I only use if I'm absolutely fed up with a lemmy user/community/instance.
EDIT:
just added a parenthetical phrase for clarification.

0 to date. So far, everyone has respected being ignored.
I only see the communities and instances I subscribe to, anyway. The local ones right when I log in too, but that's all surrealism and hacker stuff on my instance, which I'm partial to.
