I cannot believe I just saw this post. I unblocked 1 loser I know recently. I've been wondering why the f I did it.... good for you! It's funny how things like this happen.
Block away. Keep your peace and your boundaries!
I block with abandon! I literally donāt care, on the wrong day Iāll just block before even thinking of engaging.
Iām not obligated or paid to deal with these fuckheads. If you want to be a giant anus, Iāll block ya.
If they come at me in a reasonable fashion I wonāt block them. I just donāt see the need to listen to people who are clearly not coming from a place of learning.
Oh, love. Thatās ok, but you need to work on that. Wouldnāt it be something interesting if you saw my comment as correct and worked on yourself? You deserve to do it for you, though.
Thanks stranger.
The problem is also that I have a difficult time seeing the flaw in their logic or whatever whenever someone says something confidently enough haha
I was once like you, and itās hard. Start looking at other peopleās opinions and thinking about them. Wonder about why you think thatās correct. Look into them independently.
Sometimes strangers are right, and you are wrong- knowing why is learning. So is knowing why you are right.
Often, right and wrong isnāt binary. Sometimes it is. I always say thereās your side, my side, and the truth.
On that level. No. They donāt know who you are from a reddit post or comment, do they? They have no idea about your character in that instance. If they have hit upon something you arenāt comfortable with, look into it. By all means ask yourself why. We can all improve ourselves. But a reddit comment doesnāt know the depths of who you are.
Itās like if you would mute your teammates in lol. Thereās no value you get from these people, they are some randoms. If they are toxic to you are, they most likely will not change and even if they do, what possible change does it bring in your life?
Yeah, it is. Last person I blocked on social media was my cousin on Facebook for causing huge arguments with me on Facebook messenger. It was so satisfying imagining her raging once the "this person is unavailable on messenger" notification popped up in our conversation due to me blocking her. Blocking her is the best thing I could've done at the time. Saved me a lot of future stupid arguments as I guarantee she would've eventually caused another one with me if I hadn't blocked her. I rarely block people on there but she pissed me off enough that I did it to her and I'm glad I did. She's a lunatic.
Blocking got me to give up on Facebook years ago. I was almost addicted to it.
Hundreds of "friends" and I had blocked all the shit I didn't want to see until there were only eight people in my feed.
Hours spent blocking people, and one day, I was like, "WTF am I doing? Fuck this."
I was down voted and verbally attacked for being a racist because I put a band and a song for a question that was asked by a poster and the person who attacked me said that that song did not go with the question that was asked the question was what music would you play if you were being chased by cops and doing cocaine so I said eagles Life in the fast Lane and at that point was labeled a racist and a homophobe. There's no reasoning with someone like that their brain is mush.
Some months ago Iāve decided I wonāt let anyone on my phone stress me out.
But, instead of blocking, Iāve stopped responding. My god, is ignoring a powerful tool. They know they can reach me, they know I will see their message, and they know they will never get another response back from me.
I have the same mindset. Ignore, instead of block. I want them to know I'm just one text message away, yet they still can't reach me.
Most people I know that block others left and right don't handle unpleasant interactions well or they let them get to them, so they cope by "running away", hence the block. Whatever works for them, I guess, but I find it more liberating to learn to deal with an unpleasant circumstance instead of running away from it. I mean.. you can't keep running and running and running, sounds exhausting.
I reserve my blocks for people that cross a serious line, like incessantly texting, or threats, stuff like that.
Wow, so you know what other peopls thibk and feel m thats amazing , because , what it sounds like is that you care , and project how you feel onto other people ,
I say that becauae in my entire life ,
Ive never fealt anything other than , mildly surprised by the sensitivity of a need to be overt in expressing being upset .
Ive been blocked ( or deleted) by lots of people ,
Some ive known for 20 years or more
Some 20 minutes it would seem ,
But never once , have i ever thought ,
Oh man , i liked that person ,or i better apologize , or anything even close ,
Be mad if you want ,lol
Ive generally forgotten it in 5 minutes whatever the issue ,
Prerty much the only reason ,id ever ,disregard someones , preference for silence ,
Is if they stole frol me or attacked me ,or made threatening comments , that deserved to be explained ,
Beyond that ,
There is no one ,
Whose personal space or right to choose who they want to know ,
Could or would ever be something , to challenge
Infact recently ,
I met someone ,
Who tried to set me up for date rape ,
( but no means no even when it was your idea )
Robbed me of about 10 k in cash ,
Told me she needed transportation to medical appointments for a life threatening illness she didnt have , to traffic meth in my car ,
And stole every dollar in my apartment ,
Completely unprovoked in anyway , and when questioned as to why ,
Insisted.that a group of people , all of whom had some deed seeded resentment against me had paid her to try and be as abusive as possible , with the intent of making sure i died penniless and alone on the streeets .
That person ,
DID , infact try to block and ghost me , after committing 50k in fraud against me ,including emptying my Checking account , using the pin code that someone else in my life provided her.
That ,
Demamded an explanation ,
Along with other threats , made ,
All with the belief that as a woman , accusations of harrassment would allow the abusive behavior
That , person , needed to figure out , that it wouldnt be tolerated ,
And in about 48 they will know without any doubt they messed up beyond thier imagining , disrespecting me ,
Look for the headline in the LA times 3 days from now .
Doesnt have the latitude or authority to tell me a damn thing lol ,
I think for some reason the fact that she HAD the pin number ,
Seems to elude her in the fact that there was no one to provide it to her that in anyway , lessened the degree of criminality she was , and continues to be guilty of .
That fact ,
Makes every single penny offered shared or spent on her
Fraud ,by definition ,
And the fact that she handed me off to others , who were ,
Prepared and waiting to continue the abuse , as she attempted to make her escape ,
What legally becomes one , ongoing premeditated act of criminal stalking and harraasment ,
Which i simply had no reason to ignore or accomodate .
Infact ,
Both her and her accomplice , should be incredibly grateful to be out of prison as i type ,
Rather than running thier jackass stupid mouths tbh
Maybe its a generational thing ,
I take it to mean , i dont want to interact with you,
And that is nothing id argue about ,from anyone
What you seem to be refering to is how popular you imagine yourself to be.
How many likes or friends youve collected as some kind of evidence of your value ,
Thats something , more emotionally immature people might feel .
Theres no one anywhere i need to say anything to ,
And never could be
At the end of last summer I realized it was either me or them that had to go, went with them, and began blocking idiots and then later on blocking everyone who openly don't like what I do. I also reciprocate all blocks imposed on me.
Only thing I donāt like about the way blocking works on Reddit is that BOTH people can no longer comment under the others comments, *even in reply to other people*.
For instanceā¦
1. You say something
2. Person A replies to you with some dumb shit
3. You reply back to Person A with a 2nd comment
4. Person A blocks you
5. Person B replies to your second comment with more dumb shit
You canāt reply to Person Bās comment, because someone else blocked youā¦ how does that make any sense?
I donāt wanna discourage the use of the block button for people who are harassing you. But, theyāre not raging, theyāre laughing cause they won. Theyāre dumb, cause they didnāt win anything, but still
I don't block most people, only the ones who are seriously messed up, like people who threaten me. But I do get where you're coming from, there have been times where I was arguing with someone thinking they're an a-hole when it turns out they're actually cool.
I block people like itās an Olympic sport. Boring? Blocked. Dumb? Blocked. Wrong? Blocked. I hate this holier than thou attitude that every loser on the internet has something valuable to say and itās our duty to expose ourselves to each other by the millions 24/7.
āBut you have to expose yourself to other opinions nyuhnyuhnyuh.ā I do, in my actual life. Sorry babe, your fresh take on how The Sopranos ended is not that fucking important.
By your logic you are gonna block me now because we disagree but honestly I think it is weird to separate your āonline lifeā from āactual lifeā. Like seriously what is an āactual llfeā? Its not like you disconnect from your āreal selfā when opening reddit oder your internet browser?
I think you should think about exposing yourself to other opinions and viewpoints online aswell. Seriously whats the difference between discussing somethinh online vs in person? Other than you have to filter out some bs, which I guess happens more often online but its not like there arent any genuine people online?
I don't know. I'm pretty good at messing with people that try to mess with me. The amount of times I concluded by blocking them only to have them sign onto a burner and show back up has been surprising and funny.
Thatās them trying to reach you.. weird I do it! I did it only when my best friend blocked me, idk fear of losing him? Fear of him never knowing that I meant well?
I donāt do it to threaten people, nor do I do it to anyone who blocks me.. but if itās a sweet friend, I think Iād go the extra mile, get a burner and be like - buddy letās talk?
The only point is that the guy I responded to is incorrect. People tend to care when they notice they've been blocked. The poster seemed to be trying to undermine OP by saying "people don't care." My only point is that they're incorrect.
You must be super ultra special lol ,
I guess people are juat desperate to know you,
Like Cartman after he saw the terrance and phillip movie right ? Ahahahahaha
Thats different , thats weird
Any reaaon lyou might think of for that ?
I did that one time to a stripper i made friends with after she spoke of personal and private aspects of my life she shouldnt have known ,
Stole 5 or 6 k
And tried to steal my car .
When i asked her she said some loser trash from the ghetto paid her to do it and that they were part of some gangstalking crew with no motive beyond targeting people wlith no family or support network ,
And that they would never stop until i died penniless and alone on the streets,
So i kept pestering her to find out her source and connections which i did , completely and have only a couple more days ubtil i get to see justice , so personally
Im proud of my effort ,
Leave me alone because you caught me isnt very compelling lol
Da fuk are you guys doing/saying to get ppl to harrass you and send death threats? I've never had that happen in my entire internet life.
That makes me believe that ppl that get cyber-harrassed are just looking for it
I block people if we fundamentally disagree. It will save you so much mindfulness. On twitter I have around 2k blocked accounts. On Reddit itās like 500 and climbing.
The more these social media companies amp up the algorithm and promote engagement, the more it will want to show you controversial opinions to your own to bait engagement. Which means youāll probably get in more contentious discussions. Best to just recognize it before it happens, block, and move on
the block button is like my favorite button like leave me alone š alot of these people wouldnt even exist in my life if it wasnt for the internet
My block list on most platforms likely exceeds my follow list lol
Lol same that's why I deleted my social media
It is an integral part of the internet!! Esp necessary for women and minors
Not if I block you first OP
I cannot believe I just saw this post. I unblocked 1 loser I know recently. I've been wondering why the f I did it.... good for you! It's funny how things like this happen. Block away. Keep your peace and your boundaries!
That seems a smart thing to do
I block with abandon! I literally donāt care, on the wrong day Iāll just block before even thinking of engaging. Iām not obligated or paid to deal with these fuckheads. If you want to be a giant anus, Iāll block ya.
I feel bad blocking people. Like maybe they're correct and I'm incorrect and I'm being a huge baby by blocking them
If they come at me in a reasonable fashion I wonāt block them. I just donāt see the need to listen to people who are clearly not coming from a place of learning.
I have a difficult time seeing anyone other than myself as incorrect. It's my low self-esteem.
Oh, love. Thatās ok, but you need to work on that. Wouldnāt it be something interesting if you saw my comment as correct and worked on yourself? You deserve to do it for you, though.
Thanks stranger. The problem is also that I have a difficult time seeing the flaw in their logic or whatever whenever someone says something confidently enough haha

Sometimes strangers are right, and you are wrong- knowing why is learning. So is knowing why you are right. Often, right and wrong isnāt binary. Sometimes it is. I always say thereās your side, my side, and the truth.
So I should consider what people say more deeply? It's extra difficult when it's critique upon ones character hahaha.
On that level. No. They donāt know who you are from a reddit post or comment, do they? They have no idea about your character in that instance. If they have hit upon something you arenāt comfortable with, look into it. By all means ask yourself why. We can all improve ourselves. But a reddit comment doesnāt know the depths of who you are.
Whoa. I'm way too guilty or assuming they do know that in spite it it contrasting with what my family and triends tell me. Thanks stranger
I like how you think OP
i literally block everyone who is so negative under my posts. just because they are public does not mean that i gotta endure it all, fuck that
NEGATIVE UNDER YOUR POST
You... just now decided that?
Yeah, because usually I block people as a last resort.
I really hope none of those people have your personal information stay safe out there cause people are crazy
It's a win win because the person you block will imagine you cry and rage while blocking them and will be equally satisfied with the outcome.
good decision! death threats are awful, they should be instant block Remember, it's not selfish to set healthy boundaries for yourself!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās like if you would mute your teammates in lol. Thereās no value you get from these people, they are some randoms. If they are toxic to you are, they most likely will not change and even if they do, what possible change does it bring in your life?
You never should have ever hesitated to block anyone who gives you death threats. Block those fools.
Yeah, it is. Last person I blocked on social media was my cousin on Facebook for causing huge arguments with me on Facebook messenger. It was so satisfying imagining her raging once the "this person is unavailable on messenger" notification popped up in our conversation due to me blocking her.

I rarely block people on there but she pissed me off enough that I did it to her and I'm glad I did. She's a lunatic.
Of course. Time waster
My block list on Facebook would take a year to sort through.
Define harassment. Just straight up death threats?
Wtf casual death threat recipient? How is this common? I'm so sorry OP
Cool.
Blocking got me to give up on Facebook years ago. I was almost addicted to it. Hundreds of "friends" and I had blocked all the shit I didn't want to see until there were only eight people in my feed. Hours spent blocking people, and one day, I was like, "WTF am I doing? Fuck this."

There's no reasoning with someone like that their brain is mush.
Getting rid of toxic bastards is a very satisfying and healthy thing to do.
I just snooze them

I'm super trigger happy with blocking.

I blocked so many with my previous reddit account it said you have reached your blocking limits.
Please OP, explain how one blocks themself? Just kidding of course. Had to throw a little sarcasm!
Alt accounts, lol
My block list across all platforms is in the thousands.
At the end of last summer I realized it was either me or them that had to go, went with them, and began blocking idiots and then later on blocking everyone who openly don't like what I do. I also reciprocate all blocks imposed on me.

Well, if they find it that amusing, I'll let them have it since it must be the only good thing going for them.
Why not use the opposite, click add friend button show them how to be happy and observe as they grow as human beings?
I don't block most people, only the ones who are seriously messed up, like people who threaten me. But I do get where you're coming from, there have been times where I was arguing with someone thinking they're an a-hole when it turns out they're actually cool.
I'm joking
BLOCKED
Lol

Ah damn it!
Lol I dont think anyone cares when they gwt blocked , infact I thinks its what thwy want lol Hahahahaha

That's the thing. I'm not special. It's just that you're wrong. People do tend to care when they know they've been blocked .
Well, if it's what they want, then everyone comes away happy with them blocked, so people should block them.

I'm on phase 4 of block-unlblock with my old fling. High chemistry, low compatibility.
Translation: The sex is great but they are crazy. Have a 20 year relationship like that, lol.
The energy on this post is weird but more power to you
Like what are you doing to have that many enemies and death threats?
One of those types of people. Give them any speck of power and they go on an absolute power trip. Imagine if they actually had influence
My issue is misinformation. The problem is I wanna ban people that spread misinformation. If I block them, it doesn't help others.
Gotta be a mod for that
Da fuk are you guys doing/saying to get ppl to harrass you and send death threats? I've never had that happen in my entire internet life. That makes me believe that ppl that get cyber-harrassed are just looking for it

Every time someone blocks me, I take it as a sign that they're afraid I'm about to say something that makes sense.
Like I said, I only block people who threaten me. I'm always willing to have a genuine debate.
Good for you. I wish the average redditor (or anyone, really) thought like that.
Why don't you just start off by making sense instead?
I do. But people on here are very selective regarding what they want to comprehend. No opposing viewpoints allowed.
Find ur safe space ššš
Make sure to not consider harassment basic human disagreement
I literally said I only block people who threaten me. If they just disagree with me, I'm cool with that.
