    Question for all the block-happy lemmy users:
    Do you notice an increase in average quality of the comments you see over time?
    Or comment chains that make no sense cause half the commenters are blocked?
    Or is it more like trying to dust off the Sahara?

      Occasionally I’ll notice that a comment or two is missing because someone I’ve blocked is replying to a post, but it hasn’t really caused me any problems

      Yes. Life is stressful enough without screaming in the void at “Internet debators” with the reading comprehension skills of a meatloaf. Blocking is better than getting hounded by their straw man arguments and trolling. If you don’t understand this, you’re part of the problem.

      It depends on how you use Lemmy. Using an app, or the default/next version of the site? The comments might just be collapsed, or anything else all the way to just not even there whatsoever.
