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

I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.

But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.
