I’ve heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don’t want to see. I imagine I’m not the only one curious how my total compares to others’
I’m at 142, and I’m unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

I won’t block different perspectives. If I disagree I disagree and move on, but why block somebody? I think it is important to have your believes challenged.
None, I don’t think I’ve ever blocked anyone on any social media except bots on Facebook and discord

None. I’m pretty lax about blocking people and haven’t yet encountered anyone worth blocking.
I haven’t blocked any communities or instances since the instance I created my account on has defederated from lemmy.world and lemmy.ca. I’ve considered blocking sh.itjust.works but I’ve successfully avoided them so far.
None. I was on Reddit since 2008 and didn’t block anyone there either. If I argue with someone over trivial bullshit it doesn’t necessarily mean that they add nothing to every discussion they find themselves contributing to, so I just move on and just ignore them the old fashioned way.
I do block communities that are of absolutely no interest to me, but it has to be like 0% interest
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.
I go raw, I trust my instance to defederate from the worst of it, but otherwise I don’t block people, communities or anything. I also browse by all and while I subscribe to communities it’s more for the future or something, because for now there’s just not enough content to curate my feed really.
It’s all good though because I switched to other sources for my specialist content (mainly YouTube) and Lemmy is just there for my obsessive scrolling.
The only block on both my accounts is lemmynsfw.com so I don’t have porn pop up on my feed at work
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)
Seven users, a bunch of communities and one instance.
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.
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).
Just that annoying ass bias checker bot
no users, but i have blocked 117 (mostly porn) communities and 2 entire instances
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.
