While i can understand the temptation of creating a bubble where every opinion is aligned with my own and everyone is entertaining, i think it's a mistake. Ofc, if it's just a troll, by all means go ahead and block them.
But "bores" are often enough knowledgeable people in some areas, and drama-starters sometimes give an impulse where real discussion can take place. Also, authoritarians of all colors need to be called out, so that the probability of their propaganda taking root is reduced as much as possible.
I have 334 users on my block list.
335 now.
If i may ask, on the small possibility you might see this, what triggered you to do this? I understand that you might disagree, but did i do something wrong?
You're welcome to add me to the list too, since your threshold seems to be very low - they posted perfectly respectful comment, was it just because you disagreed with them?
couple things.
I have no problems with anarchists, just specifically groups of anarchists. kind of negates the whole "anarchist" thing.
if everyone ignored them, then their influence would stop. There's no reason to interact with either.
ultimately their ideas only feed the people they are arguing against. this leads me to believe this person is either a troll or a fool. considering they're a member of an anarchist group I assumed they're a troll and not an anarchist.
Since our Greenknight doesn't see it:
I'm on anarchist.nexus because i don't want to use lemmy and it's the piefed-sister of dbzer0.com - reason for this is that the Lemmy devs are hardcore tankies. I for myself am more of an socialist.
And I definitely said to block trolls; bores are not worth blocking because if i find a comment boring, that's hurting noone. drama-queens are often catalysts for good discussions like i said, doesn't mean i have to reply to them - i'd rather stay informed.
authoritarianism like nazi and tankie propaganda on the other side is like a festering wound and needs to be countered. If you don't, you get what the USA is currently going through.
