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?

    Keep it up. Don’t let FOMO loosen your standards. If people acted like this to you in person, you would avoid them. Do it online as well.

    Sadly we interact so much online that the bad behavior of social media is now informing people how to behave IRL.
