How many communities are you blocking?
I'm up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don't see the point of. I've got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

I just blocked Politics.
I felt that politics posts and discussions on reddit led to a separation of communities and echo chamber when platforms like that an Lemmy would ideally, be politics free.
It leads to a more friendly positive and inclusive place to be.
I think it would be impossible to keep politics off Lemmy so best I can do for now is filter it out.
I'm tempted.
I'd say go for it. Political discussion on Lemmy is just inflammatory hot garbage, your sanity will thank you for staying away.
I don't mind it in general, but partisan politics reeks of the bot-infested/bad-faith experience we used to get at the old place.
Ya, I tested the waters there and it's filled with some truly rabid individuals. That was an easy block decision.
