How many communities do you block if it's >0? (lemmy.ml)

Question to people who block communities, how many? What's your criteria? I, uhhh, block a measly 586 communities.

My criteria is as follows:

nuked nearly all meme ones
nuked meta ones for instances outside of mine, as I find my ingerence unfair
nuked meta ones for countries I've no past with and no interest in making future with
nuked soft porn / porn ones from .world
nuked duplicate communities from instances which block many instances, so I get most diversity of opinions since they crosspost anyway
blocked AI art communities
generally anything related to AI, crypto and other topics I don't have any interest in
blocking all/near-all image and video oriented communities, because I'm here for engagement, not browsing images and most definitely not for videos

I'm very pro curating my own experience, as you may see. It's quite slow, but at least I seldom get things I don't want to check out, apart from some posts from technology.

46 at present. Furry porn sites that weren't tagged NSFW, memes, shitposting, a number of communities from the h... server (you know the one), tankie communities.

I'm subscribed to a lot of communities, too, but I still use the all feed for discovery.
