What do you block people for?
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?

Man I wish we had a "flag" option as an alternative. I don't wanna block anyone because sometimes I still wanna read their comments/posts.
I just want to flag them so when I come across them again I can keep in mind that they did a no-no before. You could even use it to categorize (this user is a spammer, this one a troll, etc.)
I know that some apps and browser extensions do this, but I really think that it's important for Lemmy itself to have an existing notes feature as part of the server software and backend, which allows your notes to be saved as part of your account.
Mastodon has this feature and lets you leave notes on users' profiles. I do this a lot on there. I guess there isn't any reason why you couldn't use Mastodon's version of it if you regularly post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon, but since I and many others are lemmy users, and post + read from here it's good to have that feature available on this server's software natively.
There's a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.
Boost lets you tag users so you can figure out who is consistently beint shitty. I think a few other apps also have that functionality.
I need that for the opposing reason. Sometimes people write so good comments that I don't want to block them for the stupid comment they write the next day.
