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.

        Yeah I don’t really see any of this stuff on their list, not even when I used reddit. I mean yes technically I have seen it, but extremely rarely

        I should clarify to say I’ve never been in a space where CP was being distributed.

        But one of the times it was on reddit (just before the blackout, actually). One of the “recommended” posts to me was a post with a collection of pictures of random screenshots of naked babies and toddlers in bathing suits from random instagram accounts/family vloggers maybe. It had low double digit upvotes but a hundred comments, the top level ones being just…really creepy, and the replies calling them out (I’m assuming these were people who also got the post “recommended” to them, like me).

        I reported it and tried to block it from my memory. It freaked me out how many people were in the post defending it as innocent post of just “kids having fun”, when like…it clearly was not. I remember the OP’s profile having a bunch of posts like that too, even though it was a very new account.

        Anyone reading this , please don’t post your babies/toddlers on social media 🙏

      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.
