I just realised I hit upvote on just about every single post and most comments kind of instinctively, meanwhile think like 5 mins before downvoting.
What are your upvote habits??

I block more then I up/down vote…
That is bizzare behaviour, I havent blocked anyone on lemmy yet. I mean theres like 20 users in total. I see someome comment on a post of mine and think oh yeah i remember that username. Its a really small space.
I’ll glance at someone’s comment history before blocking them. If they were merely unusually angry (or maybe I just didn’t get their joke), whatever. It happens. If they’re an asshole on a regular basis, though, I don’t need to see their next tantrum. Time for a block.
I don’t block much, but I have seen a number of shameless ad accounts and a number of rabid fascist accounts, and life’s too short to listen to either of those.
Yeah ofc block those. I guess Im in saner subs
I’ve blocked 130 users so far and usually add few people to that list every day.
Even on a small place like Lemmy there’s still way more content than I can pay attention to. If I see someone posting stupid shit and I go see their profile and discover that’s the only kind of content they post then by blocking them I just increase the signal to noise ratio on my feed. Quality over quantity.
However I try to stick to my principles when blocking. One “fuck this person” -message doesn’t get you blocked unless by a quick glance I can find several of them in your history.
Also my instance has defederated like 20 instances so that alone probably adds 500 users to that list.
