Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?
Bonus question: how long is your block list?

It does actually make a difference. Especially on a small platform like Lemmy. I’d say that around 50% of the time that I see a blocked user make a comment and I log out to read it, it just confirms that blocking them was the right choice.
Man I wish we had a “flag” option as an alternative. I don’t wanna block anyone because sometimes I still wanna read their comments/posts.
I just want to flag them so when I come across them again I can keep in mind that they did a no-no before. You could even use it to categorize (this user is a spammer, this one a troll, etc.)
Boost lets you tag users so you can figure out who is consistently beint shitty. I think a few other apps also have that functionality.
There’s a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.
I need that for the opposing reason. Sometimes people write so good comments that I don’t want to block them for the stupid comment they write the next day.
