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?

I don’t block people, even if someone is being stupid I doubt I’d run into them that often again. But of course, if someone was personally harrassing me, I’d block, it just hasn’t happened here.
If someone is harassing you, IMO the best approach is not blocking but contacting the admins; either of your instance or the person’s instance. If you simply block the person they’ll keep harassing you, but now on your back as you won’t see their comments.
It’s best to report people who engage in harassment, trolling, and bad behavior in-general. That way they can be identified and actioned by moderators and admins.
In the case of people on other sites it’s best to message the admins of the other server directly so they may take action accordingly.
