i cannot add more blocked users so i went one by one through that list … starting from the first one i blocked. Not surprisingly, looking at each account, they are either Banned or have No Activity Since ~1 year.

Eventually there could be some site maintenance for [ Banned + Empty ] accounts so to clean our block lists accordingly …

Some other optimization of this type could be made … i believe it would free the server from useless work since the server have to compute removing according to Long Block Lists … this task could be heavy in server work …

What do you think ?

    No. As soon as i started removing entries from that list i could again put more entries (maybe it is a coincidence) in the list.

      might still have been related, i guess we’ll never know.

      the rule i changed did look like it had some false positives at least, so even if it wasn’t that it should fix issues that could have been experienced by others randomly.

        Thanks for researching this and thanks for maintaining the instance “Lemmy(dot)World”.

        As for optimization and code improvement … i believe it will come in time as programmers and administrators are able to improve things …

        See you around 👍😁
