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.

IMO, it’s a mistake to be shutting out other cultures because of these easily-fixed technical issues.

Personally, I’d rather a translation option was added like they have on Mastodon. I’d miss out on some smart people if I blocked all German and French posts from my feed. Those just happen to be the best languages for high assurance engineering talk (which is basically all I care about).

That's fair and I've suggested the same before as well.
