Gregory's ServerMuting is self-care. Blocking is self-care.
What I mean by this is that it is not a punishment. It is not a judgement on the person being muted or blocked. It is about the well-being and interests of the person doing the muting or blocking.
Why I'm saying this is because I need to hear it myself.
@jasmine@chaosfem.tw it's still a struggle for me to mute people that I know are doing The Right Thing. But I easily get overwhelmed by reporting on cruelty and I help nobody by breaking down from reading the news.
It's a struggle, but I'm getting better at it. I hope you do too.
