I am fast and loose with blocking on all platforms. No regrets.
It's often not even personal. Sometimes someone expresses a mild dislike of cats and I'm like "don't need your noise".
Repost a hilarious meme that I whole heatedly agree with, but with the word "fuck" poorly crossed out? "Algo-speak promoting motherfuckers", roll of the dice on my mood, probably blocked.
My Guild Wars 2 ignore list is full of people labeled "says boiz too much", "annoying fashion", "made bad joke about bees".
There are so many people on the Internet, it's fine. I've taken this approach since MUDs were in fashion and I am pretty confident that it's only served to improve my online experiences.
How long before you are left with no posts on Lemmy?? ๐ญ
Right?! I'm surprised that I haven't just run out of internet yet, but here we are :D I'll be sure to post about it when it happens ;p
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)
