I've heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don't want to see. I imagine I'm not the only one curious how my total compares to others'

I'm at 142, and I'm unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total

              all of them, as far as i can recall, are bots. most of them just reddit repost spam bots.
