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

    A few dozen users, mostly bots or people posting in non-English with their accounts setup incorrectly to tag it as English.

    Actual humans who I think are idiots or trolls, I’m more likely to just tag them instead of blocking them. I see the tag and it reminds me not to waste my time answering them, but I can still see other people making interesting responses. Like there’s a chronically depressed dude who posts frequently, asks for advice, then insults anyone who replies. He caught me twice, then I tagged him and I no longer take his bait. But some other people who reply to him have genuinely good comments and I can still see them.
