Just FYI, reports aren’t anonymous on Lemmy. I’ve seen some mods that have banned users over what they felt was report abuse.

I dunno how often you’re running into these comments, so it may not be an issue for you, but just thought I’d make sure you were aware of that, in case you’re in a community with hypersensitive mods.

good for you, I should probably block people more often too. but I’d recommend against announcing something like that, trolls might see it as a challenge. you don’t want to attract more assholes.

Good on you!

We all need to block and filter more quickly.

Is there a limit of blocked users on Lemmy?

If you’re on xitter, most users are toxic and toxicity is incentivised because engagement is money.

If prioritising your mental health, taking a break from ones like X and Facebook help.

Blocking negative content and hope it becomes wholesome can be exhausting and fruitless as it will reccomend it, regardless.

I personally found regularly scrubbing contacts that are not meaningful until you can take breaks more and more helps. Eventually, I refused to allow it my time or to cost my mental health so no longer use it. For me, the cost was greater than the benefit.

What kind of comments would qualify as “unhelpful”?

Know your biases… This is how you build an echochamber

Screw you, sir / madam

There’s a difference between filtering out abusive behavior and avoiding differing opinions.
