@redsad Heck, I block people for using a language I don't understand.

no, people who want to protect their peace also block people. nobody owes you access to their posts, just because you want to be an asshole in their replies, tyvm
"Relationships" are always 2-way. Part of that is taking responsibility for ones own actions and consideration for others.
2 qualities lacking so much at the moment....
When someone blocks you I consider it a possibile moment of self reflection about how much consideration is applied in both directions and how each party takes responsibility for their actions and lives.
If a person wants to maintain their own integrity after these considerations then blocking is fine.

@redsad I prefer MUTE and totally agree we all get to choose.
Assholes aren't worth it, of course.

@DeliaChristina @redsad It's so weird to me. I block even if I know it's me who's being unreasonable, the same way I do irl. Why should social media be any different? "I just don't gel with you for some reason. Therefore we're not pals. Life is short, bye". 👋🏼🤷🏻♂️

@redsad I don't understand why it's on us to justify this. "Why do you feel entitled to have access to me? Why is that you're automatic assumption?"

Coward tells you they are going to block you for a shit reason ... And you can't respond
Cowards
Block anyone you want ... But really, you don't need to tell them
Hugz & xXx
@MelissaBearTrix yeah, blocking is fine. Replying to someone with some dumb statement and then blocking them so they can't respond isn't.
If I block someone, I let them have the last word in whatever was going on because blocking means I've decided I'm not going to gain anything out of further interaction.

@stellarsarah @MelissaBearTrix @redsad
The only time it makes sense to reply before blocking is to give other people reading the thread an argument against whatever bullshit the blocked idiot was trying to push. That's only if it's an important topic, though, like trans people being allowed to pee in public toilets or why genocide is bad, actually. -

@redsad They can vilify your ideas by attacking you or they can villify your ideas in order to vilify you. Being closed to foreign ideas is only justified when you are the target of their comments and not your ideas. Feel free to attack the pessimists until they learn the lesson not to be pessimistic. Only allow a person access to your property when they have earned access to your property through good deeds, not because they think that they have a right to debate you.

Those attention-starved dorks like to rejoin with a sarcastic "well then why do you have a fence around your yard, lib?" when people say borders are stupid.
Well, if obnoxious wads don't think people should block them and anyone they want, why do they lock their front door? 😁

This thread is revealing for a new guy in the Fedi.
I can see the value of mute if someone is targeting you in direct text but if you make a public post in a public forum and then mute people in the comments section because they don't agree with you, I find that cowardly. It's akin to talking to yourself outloud in public having no respect for the people sitting around you while blaming them for hearing what you are saying to yourself.
I mute porn and spots in my "all" feed. -

@redsad also people who shit into your timeline and then escape to block. These creatures I love the most.

@redsad I say my motive is sheer laziness. Gotta filter thru about 8 billion souls to find fun ones. Can’t be done. So, even just to find the nearby fun ones, “imma need to stop you right here” <block>.

@redsad
Absolutely and ultimately it's up to each of us to define that tolerance. I draw the line at personal attacks but I welcome disagreement. -
@redsad I blocked somebody once but can't recall why. I think I wrote a post about it and everything, it was quite the day.
You can make notes on people's accounts that only you can see. I usually make a note of why I blocked them.

@billyjoebowers @redsad That's handy. I might use that to remind myself why I followed somebody in the first place from now on.
