I've never blocked someone except bots, so I'm wondering what your reasons are to block people. In my experience trolls/people who argument in bad faith lost interest quickly when I didn't respond.
Anyone who worsens my experience in life that I have the availability to simply remove at the click of a button.
That's my requirement.
That's fair I guess. Sad that this isn't possible in real life
Anyone who says North Korea is the best korea, denies tiannmen square, thinks russia is justified in taking ukraine, and has a lemmy.ml ueername is an instant block from me
I've come across people that deny climate change (and ignored them), but this is another level of fucked up :0
True that but they'll keep reappearing
That's okay, as of today blocking Lemmy users is not a paid service.
The only drawback involves arthritis or carpal tunnel issues.
if interacting with someone is like having a rock in my shoe, I block them.
Women on the internet: I'm harassed every day!
Men on the internet: *coming in hoards* never happened to me, so obv ur a *slur* and you deserve itIt's true though I'm a total *slur*
If I agree with you, it's harassment. If I disagree with you, you'd block me. So, I'll just say imo you're one beautiful *slur* and I'm glad you're so humble to acknowledge&embrace your own limitations 🤍
If the conversation starts with calling liberals "blue conservatives" or calling person or group a fascist then I'm out.
I don't want to heard your crazy political views.
I don't block people much.
If I get my mind changed on something, that's cause for celebration. One step closer to agreeing with reality.
And if it's just someone out to screw with people, that's fun, too. Get under their skin, set up shop and make a home. Make them block you.
It's like wasting the time of phone scammers. Every second they spend on you is a second they aren't spending on someone else.
Waah! People on facebook are all braindead because they refuse to get out of their bubbles!
someone disagrees with them
blocks user
there's a rather large difference between not wanting to engage in good faith with any alternative viewpoint and not wanting to engage with a single bad faith actor.
one is a misogynist refusing to listen to any feminist talking points because it's all woke and/or libtard and/or feminazi trash while the other is a minority telling someone to fuck themselves because they don't want to 'debate' their right to exist"Debate", not debate.
the internet is just... Such a shitty venue for these conversations. I have friends in the real world who disagree with me. If someone is being nasty online I feel no compunction to spend the brainpower on them. Especially as I continue to struggle with the deluge of bad news and it's affect on my mental health.
Block away, for your own health and well-being.
completely agree. One thing I hope the federation gets to is as much fine grained control for the user as possible. One thing I like with trustcafe is they have this trust level. 0 is essentially block, 100 is essentially subscribe and the levels between will prioritize them in your feed one direction or another.
