Why do people block without giving any reasons?

Sometimes I just can't figure it out. Yes I know people have some weird sensibilities like being to old or being disagreeable.

Yet there are times I am being nice and just answering a simple question to someone close to my own age. Then no reply just get blocked.

I just have a hard time understanding it. 🤷‍♂️

Imposible to be liked by everyone... That's the reason. Many have blocked me and I didn't even know about their existence

@DeWayfarer exactly they like it here because they simply block the ones they dislike, or the ones that aren't like they want..
In rl you have to deal with them even if you don't want to, but here they feel that freedom.

@SW-User with 500 blocks? And believe me I know why that limit.
SW-User
@DeWayfarer who knows maybe they just don't like your profile Pic. Or about me. Or something you said. People have their reasons.
While someone may like you another wouldnt. They don't need to tell you specifically... 😌
I only worry if a friend blocks me.
One of the reasons, which will be unknown to many who endure this cretinous act, is that they suddenly discover that a friend that they have made may not approve of you. In accordance with their abysmal intergity and their transparent toadying to their miniscule-minded and socially-crippled clique, you may be blocked.

They are free to block for whatever reason they wish. One doesn't have to explain....They don't want to interact and often that includes not even explaining why.

@bowman81 Why even be on the site? I have heard of those that have used all 500 blocks and are begging for more. It's those that I really question! They rarely ever give a reason as well.

@DeWayfarer Assholes are NEVER gonna tell ya that they are just that! Just look at it as they have done you a favor.🍀

Nobody owes you an explanation for tailoring their feed to their own requirements. I consider myself a nice person but I've blocked 170 people so far and never felt the need to explain once.

@ThePerfectUsername Have you ever read anything about netiquette?

I am not talking about isolated cases which your rape case is one. I talking as internet etiquette. If it was an isolated case you would have a point. Yet it is no longer isolated.

People here are blocking for no reasons at all. Some are blocking for insane reasons. Some are blocking so much that they have used all 500 blocks and are begging for more blocks. And all that on an anonymous site where they know just what kind of people are on it.

Not all of them are rape cases. Not all of them are mentally unstable. A few yes. Yet most don't have a real reason. Yet the netiquette for most should be to give some kind of reason even if it is "I don't like you" for whatever reason.

This is what I consider civilized behavior on the internet or "netiquette".

Netiquette has been on the way out ever since the late 90's when usenet began to decline in poultry. My general point still holds good though. Nobody should ever be required to explain themselves to every stranger they ever make a decision over. In real live maybe... but then in real life you don't encounter 1000 different people in the space of a single day. @DeWayfarer

@ThePerfectUsername Now that IS really really sad. Because I was a huge fan of netiquette on USENET. In fact I had some minor influence on it.

Have a good day or night. Was interesting conversing with you.

It shouldn't bother you, unless she had really nice tits. Then you can always make another account aged 25. You'll have the last laugh hehe.

They want you to think about what you did...my love don't keep me guessing🎶
Peaches · F
@FloorGenAdm What's love got to do with it?!🤔
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Peaches Agreed.
Peaches · F
It used to bug me too but not anymore. People are strange and we just have to let them go on without us! 🤣👌🏼

It can be a thing from fetishes to somebody in your inbox thinking they are funny but you cringe when reading their childish humor.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Keepitsimple Most of those reasons just are not applicable. Yet I have to agree that it still could be anything.

People here are very finicky. I recently got blocked for saying I’m a prude. 🤷‍♂️
