The block button rules.

If people are being mean and unkind? I block em!

Doesn't infringe on their free speech -- they can be as mean and hateful as they like on their own timeline. I just don't need to listen to it. ;)

Now.

Who wants to talk about FreeDOS? :)

Seems nicer to me to outright block someone. Leaving them unblocked, but ignoring them feels, to me, like leading someone on.

But a straightforward block? Leaves no room for uncertainty. I like that.

Plus, I make it pretty clear that I will happily unblock anyone who decides to stop harassing or being hateful to others. I believe in second (and millionth) chances. ;)

@lunduke @mangeurdenuage i kinda disagree because blocked people don't always know they're blocked or for what reason. cases like yours where you're well-known are likely quite different and i would likely deal with similarly, i do wish i knew what it was exactly that resulted in some people blocking me. not that i want to contest whatever the reason is~i just will never know if it is something that i handled poorly and can work on or just a difference in opinion. i can't see the whole thread on my mobile so sorry if this was brought up already.
