Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people?

I don’t agree with this particular usecase. Because I’ve personally experienced, people who shun “negativity” meaning they just completely ignore people’s suffering which often adds a devastating layer of invisibility to oppression. But probably hopefully this isn’t your case.
But anyways, I do agree that blocklists are probably a feature that lemmy needs.

I don’t see this a the main way to access Lemmy or the fediverse in general but as a way to curate my browsing experience. Sometimes, I’ve got enough of all the negativity, sometimes I ask myself why I’m watching that many cat and dog pictures, sometimes I’ve got enough to hear about the last big blockbuster that I don’t plan to watch. It doesn’t mean I want to permanently isolate myself to such content.

I hear you. I don’t know about the rest of the apps, but Voyager has a fairly robust set of filter options. I regularly block things for non-dramatic reasons (like I just have zero interest in a specific subject that gets a lot of posts).
I’m not sure about using Lemmy through a web browser and what options that affords.

No, it has not. I used voyager for some time. It was nice and has cool features. I blocked Trump and Elon during the US election and what a relieve!
