And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.

It does raise the question of what's left once you're done scouring out all the shit you don't like.

I occasionally visit in incognito to see what I'm missing. And I'll admit... mostly bad memes and reactionary hot takes. But I'm blocking maybe a dozen channels and twenty odd users. This block list goes into the 3k range.

    In my experience, once you get rid of all the people who are willing to voice a unique opinion, the people who are left are the ones make superficial one-liner puns. One of the great things about Lemmy is it's usually a discussion, not just an upvote race like Reddit is.

    yeah, when i started using lemmy i started blocking every chungus i disagreed with. then i realized i'm a pretty big chungus myself on a bad day, and there's like a hundred of us who use this regularly. if i block someone who's just having a bad day that's diminishes the experience here, but if i block someone who's always having a bad day (i'm not naming names, but there are a few) it improves the experience.

    i think i might have fifty users total blocked (mostly bots and trolls i hope), and i've added maybe ten in the last year. 3k is just stupid.
