On social platforms in general you can run among some offensive content. How can Lemmy users avoid rule breakers on Lemmy and viewing certain content. Preferably without running into the rule offending comment and then having to block a user.

Is it better for users to view posts at latter dates, or the day the post is out the comments start coming? What can the user do to avoid such content. Are their steps the user can take before a moderator reviews a post such as word filters?

    I understand your point, but I was primarily focused on blocking illegal/lemmy instance rule breaking comments. Not necessarily offensive comments, although that won’t mean I might not block some offensive commentators in the future. If I see a user using a racist slur for example, they’re highly likely to get blocked.

    I was specifically looking for ways to preemptively block specific types of comments, user defined. Possibly by keywords. I don’t think the web ui has the keyword block function, but some lemmy apps do.
