The ones that don’t primarily use English simply because I can’t understand what they’re talking about, and even if I could, it’s usually about the issues in another country that I can’t do anything about, so my input is useless.
An average hard-line lefty instance that’s pretending to be Anarchist, except that they don’t actually follow Anarchist ideals and the admins decide what kind of Anarchism is “real Anarchism”. The only flavor difference from most (Lefty) instances is that they welcome AI generated stuff, which is overwhelmingly hated on Lemmy.
My favorite part is how their own Golden Rules conflict with their own Code of Conduct, not to mention their admins blatantly do not follow either. It’s hardly surprising you have a lot of them blocked.
It’s not the leftism it’s the unapologetic felatio to your tankie friends. At least ml is honest about who they are. You lot pretend to be anarchists but cream your pants for State sponsored authoritarianism as long as it comes out of China, Iran, Cuba, Russia or one of the other triad countries.
Lemmy.world obviously as it’s the biggest instance. Then ofcourse the usual suspects: Hexbear and Lemmygrad. Looking at that list the only other instances that seem slightly over-represented are dbzer0 and blahaj
Don’t want to start any drama by listing specifics, but basically any instance that advertises itself as “a space for {insert flavor of identity politics here}”.
I have a lot of blahj users blocked, across various different blahj instances. some of whom i notice have the same username across multiple instances where they spam rage bait content and tons of hostile commentary. most of them were from my /all feed where i saw them spamming this stuff.
I don’t really consider blahaj as an “identity politics” instance, but I think I know which users you’re referring to (or at least their style). I’ve probably had those blocked for a while now.
Edit: A few of those have older hexbear alts which kind-of explains things.
Communities: none, I don’t block entire communities (beside the ones already blocked by my own instance, I suppose) since I see no reason to punish an entire population for the poor behavior of some of their individuals.
Users: I had no idea where they’re from, so I just had a look. A good chunk is from lemmy.world but that is to be expected as it’s quite large an instance, so it says nothing about the instance itself beside it being large. Also worth mentioning, I have blocked users from many other instances. The thing is that I block someone the instant I realize either
1) they are wasting my time: I’m too old to let anyone rob me of that precious resources.
2) they are only here to troll or to create drama, or spread hate and anger, not contribute anything positive.
I tend to block new communities fairly frequently. There are a lot that would be fine to see one post occasionally, eh, whatever, scroll on.
But a lot of the time, someone will make a community and immediately spam like 10 posts in a row. I can scroll past 1, but when it’s most of a page, it gets annoying.
I tend to rarely see new communities all that often. I feel like whenever I go on All it’s a the same few that I find interesting enough to keep around, but not enough to join/sub to.
I’ve never felt the need to block anyone. Honestly my opinion is people who use this feature a lot must be either quite sensitive or very toxic themselves.

A lot of that hornyposting stuff. You know the people. I’m already thinking about that shit enough. I come here to not do that lol
Hexbear, world, and anything yiff/furry related
The same ones that should be on everyone’s: ml, hexbear, lemmygrad
NSFW/porn ones. Nothing against porn, it just should be separate and not pop up constantly when browsing /all
agreed. i have a ton of furry porn and other cartoon porn communities blocked, they seem to pop up in my /all frequently.
If you want that to be the reality of the situation then you need to post and upvote other things more.
Looking at it looks to be lemmy.world which makes sense, as if I recall it’s the biggest instance
Hex Ml db0
what is db0? i’m not familiar but i noticed i have tons of people from that instance on my block list.

We’re too leftist over here for homie. Lemmy.bzer0.com.

That’s not me. Bark at someone else.
if you run around with a bunch of clowns, you’re part of the circus 🎪
Cool story.
Inadvertent Dwarf Fortress reference!
as an anarchist I have way more common cause with ‘tankies’ than with running dogs for empire

I don’t really bother blocking people; I prefer to use my winning personality to make them exit the conversation

No one blocked yet.
users: lemmy.world
communities: lemmy.ca
i got all the guys with the big ass block letters for names on my block list
I don’t presently block any instances, and my home instance has a “no defederation” policy.
I think I’ve blocked about three users, all of whom were spamming content to try to make threads unreadable.
That being said, I don’t subscribe to communities on lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, or lemmy.ml, and I normally browse subscribed.
Blahaj.zone and dbzer0
I have 3, 2 from dot world
1) they are wasting my time: I’m too old to let anyone rob me of that precious resources.
2) they are only here to troll or to create drama, or spread hate and anger, not contribute anything positive.
Only communities I block are the ones I’ll never have interest in when browsing All. I just checked and I have no users or instances blocked.

Yeah, it’s def not every day. But it comes up enough to be a familiar feeling.
I have 8 from .world and 6 from other instances.
I only have three users blocked, I don’t remember exactly why they’re blocked but I assume they were scams.
Only 11 people blocked, world of difference to use fediverse now
i’ve blocked zero instances.
