I always felt like it was wrong to block an account unless it was smth absolutely insane. Nazis etc.
But now I’m blocking people who’s tone I dont like, or who are baiting or actingnin bad faith.
I know I can’t do it as a mod. But i can certainly do it as an individual now. Judgy comment? Blocked. Unnecessarily confrontational? Blocked.
This is new to me, literally 3 days. Wonder how this affects my feed. Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can’t see it. I wish they couldn’t see anything I posted either.
What are your blocking habits? If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?
Unfortunately we won’t be there to see you post it
(I know people can still view posts from people who block them, but the joke only works if we forget that OK)
