I took an extended break from Lemmy but for the 3 hours I started using this website again I’m noticing a lot more people announcing when they block other people.
I have always done that to people who are unfriendly towards me. It also gives them a notice that I won’t be replying to their unfriendly behavior.
Never used Twitter/X so I have no idea how it is on there.
Though, I wonder why do I need to explain my reason for announcing to block someone but someone else being unfriendly or having a toxic behavior seems to be okay and is not questioned. What other social media have you used in the past?
I cut my teeth on Reddit, personally. A long, long time ago, I used a certain anonymous imageboard but I stopped when I finally realized that what were edgy jokes to me were actually pretty serious business to the worst kinds of people. When I block people I just… y’know, block them. They can scream at the void, it’s whatever. I don’t engage with trolls, because telling them off often encourages them. I’m not trying to antagonize you here, I was just curious because you’re the second or third person I’ve seen post a “get blocked loser” type of message in the past few hours.

I’m glad Lemmy allows infinite blocking users. So welcome to the blocklist, don’t want to see unfriendly and unnecessary behavior from new accounts.
