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.
