My block list is empty

My blocklist is empty, I've never used it and to my knowledge I have only been blocked by one player (a sore loser in a BGS rivalry).
I have been popped a few times, and met & survived hostile encounters lots of times, but what I do is send a friend request & have a chat with them. Sometimes I make a friend or at least a useful contact, sometimes I learn something (more often I already know what I did wrong & it was just a silly mistake on my part falling into a trap).
But most importantly it means I can see when they log in, where they are & it gives me a kind of heatmap of Cmdr activity. If I see someone nearby or heading my way I can choose to avoid them if I want to, and most importantly I can see where they are (PvP players often tend to clump together).
I can always unfriend someone if I don't want them to know where I am.

My block list is infinite. I play in solo.
I can't
this enough...Looks like I'm still in the lead.
Interesting that zeros decided to post. I guess that's some sort of flex.
I've actually never had a problem being instanced with people. It is often the case that commanders I have blocked show up in my instance, so the mechanic is definitely not perfect.

I have never understood why my friends need to know exactly where I am at all times. It's Friends list, not Spouse list and even some would say that was too much.
My block list is infinite. I uninstalled.
But back when I was still playing, I zeroed out my block list because everyone in it "uninstalled", as in they haven't been seen in months. Same went for most folk in my friends list. I put "uninstalled" in air quotes because I stayed with Legacy to the end, so it's plausible that most of the notorious gankers in my original blocklist just switched over to Odyssey.
Even back when I was actively using block as a feature in a very "alive" game, my list really wasn't that big. I played in Open to encounter people, otherwise I'd have just played in Solo like you do and save myself the "hassle" of a blocklist (thankfully Frontier made it surprisingly easy to use). Moreover, at least some of the people in that list played in Solo themselves, and I blocked them not because of their actions, but because of the rubbish they kept spamming system chat with during CGs.
You took the bait.Imagine having had your fee fee's hurt 165 times.
I have not been ganked 165 times.
Pop into a system, scan all the ships. FSDI, Gromboms, Wanted, + Burst builds, - insta block. Leave a station, scan all the ships inside looking for the same gear - insta block. See the system chat with Commanders touting their gank prowess, insta block. At a CG or exploration site with the same features - insta block.
I never block anyone at a CZ though. That's fair spot pvp imo.
Just using the game mechanics as designed. Hope that doesn't hurt your fee fees.
It is no more a flex than posting your 165 CMDR long block list.
Didn't you have the Reverse Ironman Blocklist policy?
As I recall it's called ALL.
A long time ago I hypothesized that there are no modes in the game there are just 3 kinds of list.
ALL is a single-player game.
White List - Private Game.
Black List - Open Game.
I know what you mean, I block anyone I see with a DSS or a vehicle bay, especially if it looks like a jump focused build. Anyone going on about Raxxla in the system chat? Insta-block.
Unless I'm in Colonia, that's a fair exploration spot imo.
Just using the game mechanics as designed to make sure I don't get stuck in the boring instance.
When you do the mission - bounty hunter yes even with a fix gun, it is easy to get a criminal, and here you are already flying honestly pay the fine and you put it on your list ...
