Lemmy Client Idea - Recommend blocking communities after consistent downvotes (hackertalks.com)

It might be nice if lemmy clients (voyager, default client, etc) would make a suggestive pop-up:

Would you like to block this community? Your downvote ratio is 100% over the last X days/Y posts.

This is good for lemmy because it will let users have a more positive experience, its helping guide people to get better use of the user interface.

Lemmy already has a feature where you can define the language of a post and potentially filter by that property, but it's pretty much useless because most just leave it on "Undetermined". I believe clients should make a best effort guess about the language (maybe based on a dictionary analysis of the text body or WHOIS of a linked website) and offer it as the default choice instead.

Can't mods remove "undetermined" from the list of options for a community, forcing posters to set the language when they post?
