Only 16 user. I don't have an issue with most people. However since I brows mostly new content from All, I got to block some communities (166 so far) or I'll see gay/trans content, content in foreign languages or Russian propaganda. I don't have anything personal per se against the former, I'm not homophobic, I just don't want to see nude males constantly. Other trans communities are just fine, like when they do memes or news.
Sadly the later part, Lemmy is basically Reddit/r/worldnews but worse and spread over multiple communities without curation, allowing for a lot of propaganda. I don't need content of people telling me that communism, which failed in their shit hole of a country, is the answer to capitalism.
However I see that this is a constant battle of the instance owner trying to keep ahead, so some of those are probably blocked instance wide already by now.
This will become less of an issue once the content we subscribed to is more and therefore we don't need to brows All to get enough entertainment. It's getting better by the day.
