There was one user that was constantly creating communities for Japanese cartoons
Fuck me it was like swatting flies, but then I realised I should just block the user!
Ta-dah, no more suspiciously-pseudo-pedo shit cluttering up my "all"

None, I've seen hateful speech here and when I do I report it and carry on... I don't dislike reading news or opinions I personally disagree with however.
Whoops, missed the communities portion of the question. I don't browse all, I have a specific list of communities I've subscribed to that I read through in New order.
Zero.
I mainly look at my subscribed feed, which contains mostly topics I want to see in communities moderated well enough I rarely see anybody being horrible.
I dunno, the browser lags when I scroll down it.
It's trivial to build huge ones up. This account is only as old as the reddit bullshit in 23, and I know I'm over a hundred at least.
Humans are assholes. On the internet, they don't work as hard to pretend they're not. And, they'll often go harder at it than anywhere else. So you block a lot if you want to avoid future interactions with the same asshole.
I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.
But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.
Every moe community that popped up. A few other communities for season ranging from stupid to vile atrocity.
One instance (a mostly moe server)I guess
A couple dozen users.
I block a lot of instances because they're specific to interests I don't care about. I've blocked 2 particularly obstinate users.
All of lemmy.world which is now blocked on my instance.
Curious why that is
How do you find these numbers?
Edit:
Users 55 Communities 12 Instances 0
Edit #2:
BTW, this was easy to find in the default interface for my instance (Settings > Block tab) but I still can't find it on Photon. π
There's probably a better way but...
Open the page, right click, inspect, paste these in there and possibly expand the node list for users.
Users
document.querySelectorAll('.person-listing')
Comunities:
document.querySelectorAll('.community-link')
I had 0 users, but 69 communities.
DOM me daddy βπ»
I manually counted them by counting how many in the list fit on my screen at one time (15 for me on Eternity), then seeing how many screens worth of scrolling I had to do to get to the bottom, and multiplying
Well played.
a few dozen, mostly hexbear users. Though that was mostly from when I started using Lemmy, I haven't felt the need to block anyone in a long time. My list of blocked communities is much larger.
I browse by all, so mostly I've just blocked a shit ton of porn instances, communities, and accounts.
A few dozen users, mostly bots or people posting in non-English with their accounts setup incorrectly to tag it as English.
Actual humans who I think are idiots or trolls, I'm more likely to just tag them instead of blocking them. I see the tag and it reminds me not to waste my time answering them, but I can still see other people making interesting responses. Like there's a chronically depressed dude who posts frequently, asks for advice, then insults anyone who replies. He caught me twice, then I tagged him and I no longer take his bait. But some other people who reply to him have genuinely good comments and I can still see them.
133 communities and just 45 users. An old alt of mine is among them for a reason I can't recall. Login trouble or something?
Edited for fat fingers.
zero, across all platforms
0, Iβm just raw dogging /all (minus whomever .world is defederated from)
3? I generally don't care, but some people are insufferable. They spew nonsense meant only to get a rise out of others and have a chip on their shoulder. Interacting with their existence is a waste of mine, so bye bye.

8 users. Many communities.
Just a handful...
Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn't be able to read anyway.
and just a few users, who are big spammers.
A few. Mostly extremist mods who censor a comment I made that didn't fit their echo chamber. They seem to feel the need to message you after, to reiterate they only allow their views to be expressed, and to flex. I just block em.
Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

I donβt think Iβve added to the list in months.
1 instance, 3 communities, 91 users. I'm pretty reserved with the block button.

Impressive!
I browse by new, so I often see the spam advertising and bad faith garbage (Logic_&_Ethics anyone?) so I just block liberally
I literally don't know what I'm missing
ETA: I also don't have a language set, so if I see a foreign language community with no English posts or comments I'll just block it
I've blocked a couple of the top 10ish most prolific posters, so I know I'm missing out on some quality content. That's one benefit I see to tagging instead of blocking, if my client had that feature
Just 11 for me, all spambots. Luckily, I've not had many problems with real people around here.
None, I don't think it's worthwhile to block users and create some kind of filtered bubble or echo chamber. To me, if you try to silence someone, you're afraid of what they have to say.
Or annoyed with what they have to say?
It's just some random internet person. Why would what they say annoy you?
Well yeah they're random internet people, but sometimes they're random internet people that show up in my feed/comments frequently
Just ignore/downvote/argue them. Whatever you prefer and have the energy for. I don't believe blocking people just because they disagree or annoy you is a good mindset to have personally. You're just setting yourself up to just browse in an echo chamber.
I remember a few months ago there was a post on Asklemmy where the person talked about how they enjoyed talking to an AI chatbot more than human interaction. During the course of the discussion it came out that this person had some incredibly crappy views on things like politics and human loss. This person admitted to blocking over 500 people on Lemmy because of it, and it's likely gone up since then. Blocking people just sets one up to have that kind of mindset.
My instance doesn't participate in downvoting, and arguing is a waste of time and bad for my mental health. So, I do choose to ignore them- forever, by blocking them lol.
Zero, I ainβt no bitch. But I have blocked a lot of pages. No anime or languages I donβt know or Linux shit for me.
I think that leaves star trek?
And cats
And wizards - by far the greatest community out there.
I'm one that doesn't tend to block anyone, unless it's outright obvious I just need to. I haven't blocked anyone on Lemmy, hoping I don't find any reason to do so.
I think one person blocked me though, oh well.
Spez blocked me from Reddit, but like who cares right?
Edit: Obligatory FUCK SPEZ!
