Gregory's Server@WhyNotZoidberg it's a thing I've seen pretty often here, typically from techy types, mostly dudes.

@WhyNotZoidberg tbh I'd say anyone who doesn't think folks should get to block them is already waiving a big old red flag @thekitmalone imo you shouldn't be able to prevent me from speaking, but you should be free to look away and ignore me if you want. @thekitmalone @WhyNotZoidberg as one very wise therapist once told me Anyone who has an issue with you erecting a healthy boundary has a vested interest in it not being there Block buttons are boundaries and I agree. It’s a red flag because they seem to legitimately have the expectation that you should have a worse or aggravating experience in the interest of listening to their drivel rather than learning to handle rejection gracefully @WhyNotZoidberg @thekitmalone right? No. No, I don’t think I will because I have better things to do with my time internet rando. Also personally I feel strongly about not legitimizing bad faith inquiries with good faith evidence or like any attention whatsoever but that’s my personal opinion on that. Not always the easiest to stick to because I’m human and even I have a limit on nonsense but I try. @WhyNotZoidberg @thekitmalone I should note - a limit on the bad faith nonsense of others. On my own nonsense and shenanigans? All day every day, on my bullshit and I appreciate the nonsense and general tomfoolery of other silly geese @FeralBogHimbo @thekitmalone As an immigrant from Birdsite I have taken the mantra "just block and move on" with me. It's even more important here if you are a small but not personal Instance (like me) because you can bring them with you like seagulls crapping all over the Instance.  I'd like offer them a blue checkmark (like the bird place has), and tell them that it makes them unblockable. Anyone who would want such a thing is a great candidate for me to block. Let's let them identify themselves! (Yes, that would be unethical, and so we wouldn't do it. But a guy can dream, can't he?) |
@thekitmalone ah. Blockees.
