In aggregate; 5 instances, less than 5 communities, and more than 69, nice, blocked users.

I don't mess around. I don't hesitate to block people who argue needlessly, make my experience less informational or less entertaining, troll, or disregard arguments made in foundational logic to push a point of view or 'win the argument'. Similarly my instance ignores downvotes and does not display them; as with most platforms which behave similarly to reddit; they simply do not work outside of your personal, local account, local instance, user-sorting context.

Everyone likes dialectics and agree that it's the best method to learn and move the thinking forward... Until they actually met with some antithesis of their thinking.

Have yet to personally block any instances. So far I think the closest I've come is blocking a spider community because fuck those hell spawns and a Minecraft community or two.

Edit:

Found out there's more than I remember being blocked. Multiple mc communities, a cock community (, because that stuff ain't for me and I remember accidentally clicking on one post from there by accident), a pussy community because I don't come here for porn, a Sintendo community, some bikinibottomtwitter or something similarly named community (you can guess why), and for some reason an xbox community (couldn't tell you why).

Also, I noticed for some reason I have someone from a different instance that I cannot remember why I blocked. Some guy from lemmt(dot)tf, so I have absolutely no clue since I have no idea what that instance is like, let alone remember anything about that account.

That's why hexbear and blahaj are still federated, right? /s

Defederation is weak sauce. Just block/tag accounts that aren't willing to engage in good faith, and your page clears up pretty quickly.

At the end of the day, there aren't even that many people stirring the pot. They're just unhealthily active.
