MODERATORS
Whilst that does create a more pleasant atmosphere, it also creates echo chambers and I believe that's not a good thing.
I try to only block those who are explicitly being antagonistic, rather than just those whom I disagree with.
It would be great if Lemmy had a way to tag a user, so you could tag a borderline account, then decide after several interactions if they warranted blocking.
I also block several key words, rather than accounts.
I actively search for, report then block spam.
Tags definitely needed.
I need tags badly. I used them heavily on Reddit with the Reddit Enhancement Suite.
They helped me call out “great replacement” types more than once.
The Lemmy app I use (Thunder) let you label users, if that helps
Also voyager. Got implemented few days ago.
