I tried and yes it was exhausting. Even with RES and pre-made tags like "Faggot", "Retarded Faggot", "Tranny Faggot", it took so goddamned long. And as time went on, I was using "Sane" less and less often.
Just not worth it. There is nothing of value left on Preddit.
Reddit has a Block List cap that maxes out at several hundred usernames.
It will pretend to let you block users past the cap, but if you go back to double check if new blocks are enacted, you'll notice that without notification, their profiles are still openly viewable to you.
Within your profile settings, there is a Block List tab where all active blocked users are listed including a time estimate of the block.
To get the Block function to start working again, one has to unblock some users from the historical block list to free up spots to get the Block function to start working again for new adds.
It's obvious that Reddit doesn't want to allow mass blocking of accounts to improve the user experience. There doesn't appear to be a technical reason to limit blocks to a limited number.
Reddit also doesn't disclose the Block list cap threshold. You only notice you've maxed out when new blocked users aren't actually blocked when you go back to test it.
You also have to use trial & error to get it working again by paring down your old Block list by using the same method. You remove a few, add a new one, check if the new user is actually blocked by trying to view their profile, rinse & repeat.
I personally discovered the Block list cap when lurking in some normie political subs years back & trying to mass block anyone who used terms like "freedumbs".
Trying to block every faggot on reddit sounds like a lot of work.

Seems like way too much effort for very little benefit tbh
Absolutely.
