I F You Block Me I Block You Too

I used to not block anyone on here but I have recently changed my mind. It's annoying to find yourself blocked by people you've never even had any interaction with before. So if you don't want to see me...I don't want to see you either!🙄

sometimes (and if you can see the question, but then when you try to view it or the person's profile that posted it it says denied, I think -all- the time that's a very poorly implemented age limiter thing going on. if you block the person, then find in your settings/blocked users that their profile is blurred out (although some people seem to get playful and set blurred photos), it's the person being < 18. which is all kinda stupid, but it's the way things often work here, it seems.

Ok thank you. I unblocked the few that I think is the age limiter thingy and left the ones I know for sure are old.😁@SW-User

i'm not sure what the big deal is.

i've been blocked by thousands over the years from many sites.

i feel it's a great time saver...

less drama that way.

Bean17 · 51-55, F

Yeah it's not a big deal. I'm just venting.@sighmeupforthat

I know some block for no apparent reason. I mute more than block just to keep some things off my stream. I block if they give me a particularly hard time.

Bean17 · 51-55, F

True. I typically use the mute button more often (usually for the pattern pests because I can't take reading the same thing over and over again).😜@lasergraph

lasergraph · 70-79, M

@Bean17 same here. The same story about things I am not interested in.

Bean17 · 51-55, F

I know right! I usually try to ignore them and wait them out (because usually they're gone by the next day). But sometimes I break down and just mute them. Maybe I should just always mute them and then unmute them the next day.😅@lasergraph

I wonder if there's a list that I can see of people who have blocked me.

@Bean17 Another way you can tell, is peruse the 'people page' when logged out.

I always find it so petty to be blocked by those whom I've never ever interacted with too..

Hey thanks for the tip!😏@Magenta

@Bean17 😂fair enough

🤔 I do believe it's all part of the social programming of this site.

Bean17 · 51-55, F

True. My idea turned out to be a bust anyways since I'm still gonna have to see them in comments anyways.😔@elVato

bijouxbroussard · F

I haven't been doing that here, because of the limited number of blocks. But it's made me wonder; is there any difference between what you can see of them if only one person blocks vs. both of you ? 🤔

So even if I block them back, I will still see them around in comments?😕@TechniCoIorBroccoli

bijouxbroussard · F

@Bean17 You will see evidence of their presence by others addressing and speaking to them, yes.

Bean17 · 51-55, F

Well drats!😣@bijouxbroussard
