Took me a while as I’m doing this on a phone but here are my blocked instances with reasons, and for your enjoyment, all my blocked communities (there are considerably fewer than 800 though)

Mostly I block things I have little interest in, foreign languages, nsfw, anime, bands, video games, religions, subcultures I’m not a part of. I generally don’t have any ill will toward them but have no need to see their posts. Some of these I’ve blocked after browsing c/all and seen one post. This blocklist has made c/all pleasantly readable for me. I’ve also got a few dozen users blocked but I’ll I’ll keep that list to myself.
