I have been on Reddit for a few more years than you but never blocked anyone. Why not scroll past and move on? I find it weird to block or mute. On the other hand seems perfectly reasonable to curate your view to places you enjoy visiting. I don’t bother (usually) seeing anything outside of what I am subscribed to.
And that is the reason I don’t block anyone: they often are not in a place I visit OR they happen to be rational and interesting when it is not the crazy thing I might consider blocking them for.
But I understand your experience may be different than mine.
I don’t have unlimited time to scroll through stuff I’m not interested in. In my previous post I mentioned the few things that kinda annoy me but there’s a lot more stuff that I feel neutral about but I’m just not into. Like sports. There was an unending amount of sports subs at Reddit for each team of every discipline and after a couple of years of browsing /r/all I realized I saved more time if I just hover+clicked them once to filter them instead of reading the title every time.
I feel like clearing up my /r/all from many big subs I wasn’t into allowed me to find a lot of interesting, smaller communities.
I can see that’s the difference. I never went to /r/all. I picked things I was interested in and if they were good subs I joined them. To each thier own I guess.

For me it’s just that
