I've recently turned into a blocker. - Divisions by zero

I always felt like it was wrong to block an account unless it was smth absolutely insane. Nazis etc. But now I’m blocking people who’s tone I dont like, or who are baiting or actingnin bad faith. I know I can’t do it as a mod. But i can certainly do it as an individual now. Judgy comment? Blocked. Unnecessarily confrontational? Blocked. This is new to me, literally 3 days. Wonder how this affects my feed. Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can’t see it. I wish they couldn’t see anything I posted either. What are your blocking habits? If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?

I blocked like that on reddit but here I feel there's fewer users and I have to give people credit for being on the fediverse - that earns almost everyone a "well maybe you just had a bad day".
same here, but on reddit i heard after 1000 blocks, it only soft-mutes them, or does something wierd and it doesnt silence them anymore. cant really report people all the time, otherwise you can get banned for abusing report button.
Eeeexactly. Only changed my style recently. And even still I check the profile for repeat offenders.
