I need to add to this that blocking is not the answer. Actively down vote if your instance allows. The practices discussed here passively harm artists.

Quite frankly, I don’t care why I did it. I block people to preserve my mental health, whenever I notice that seeing someone’s replies is getting on my nerves. If that makes my Lemmy experience an echo chamber, so be it. I’d rather be stuck in my ways than have my mood ruined by words of a stranger I’ve never seen and will never meet.
Since I adopted the mantra of ‘block early and often’ things have been much better and nothing of value has been lost.
No, this is not politics, you are not building an echo chamber. This is about respect, and people can respectfully disagree and I won’t block them, but there’s no reason anyone should have to put up with disrespectful users. I also blocked that one user that censored every swear word in shitposts. Fuck that person too. They both shouldn’t modify people’s works without permission.
can I get blocked, too?
No
