 A reminder, also to myself: if someone does not feel right, block. Block early. Block before you spend emotional energy. It's not a public forum (except if you want it to be). It's your space. Your little corner. (Your salon if you run it like I do mine.) 17 comments
@Mikie1600 I'm sorry you had this experience π and you totally don't owe random ppl (online or offline) to speak to them. @vicgrinberg Thanks. ^^ It wasn't a random but an acquaintance I never spoke to... So most hard to reject him but yeah, he gave me a so stange feeling. @pricklyheart I prefer blocking. All that mute does + it hides my posts from them while they are logged in. I want to spare my followers seeing them reply to me, too, not just not see it myself. @vicgrinberg Just checked on Twitter (FCKX) that I'm at 8850 blocked idiots. Just 14 here on Mastodon yet. @vicgrinberg @TYB "addicted to being angry" is such a great way to describe some people. Will use it. I could not agree more. Blocking is a bit like an ultimatum. Both are framed as something imposed on others, but in practice itβs about what weβre willing to accept in our own lives. Life is way too short to not make it our own. Exactly. Block often, early, and generously. For me, it is my space, and I keep it clean. Whoever does not like it, well, blocked. As others say, life is too short. @shansterable @vicgrinberg @shansterable @vicgrinberg yeah... that is the one thing twitter did for me. I have zero guilt or hesitancy about blocking people now.  |

@vicgrinberg Thanks, I needed this kind of reminders.
Recenty a guy started talking to me a lot all suddenly, saying really personnal and strange things, it made me so uncomfortable... Really the feeling of talking to a manipulator by his way of speaking. But I didn't dared to block him without be sure I was right...
