Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?

Bonus question: how long is your block list?

  1. Spam
  2. CSAM/defending posting CSAM
  3. incessant hornyposting on unrelated topics. Not like making a sex joke a couple of times, but a persistent history of pornbrain comments in non-NSFW communities. It's just annoying.

My blocklist (outside of spam accounts) is like 5-6 people on Lemmy. But it's definitely larger on other social media sites because there are a cesspool of people doing #2 and 3.

What is CSAM? It is an abbreviation for many things apparantly. Are you referring to 'Child sexual abuse material'? Did you encounter such things on Lemmy?

So far I luckily didn't come across anything like that but I also blocked all porn-related instances that I saw so far.

Yep, lemmy was hit with a bunch of CSAM spammers last year, and I was unfortunate enough to see a post before mods/admin were able to do something about it.
