I am unblocking people on my block list. I do not even know them or how or why they were blocked.

You'll regret it.

I always make a note as to why I block someone. If it's an offence of extremity (racist posting, always negative/personally offensive) they stay blocked. Otherwise I often 'forgive' and give them another chance.

Everyone on my block list is there for a very very good reason. If you made it there. You're doing life. There is no get out of jail card.

Usually if it’s reached the point of blocking someone, there’s a good reason so I’m not concerned if I don’t remember specifics. Sometimes people change names which might contribute to my not remembering. But unless they’re confirmed by Admin as no longer being an SW user, they’re staying blocked.

it was probably a comment they made that bothered you - at least thats how it is for me

A couple of times in the past I’ve done that—and have been sorry, since I really don’t block capriciously. I tend to block racists, especially MAGAs, posters who brag about beating their kids or who wax nostalgic about having been beaten as children themselves. 😳

I only block someone if I really mean it, and I never unblock anyone because of that. So once a year or so I just free up blocks by going through and removing anyone who’s profile pic has become that purplish X 🤷‍♂

You will.be reminded why soon

Oh let the fun begin! 😂

Don't do it!

Thats what notes are for to remember why you blocked someone lol

You can decide to do so hastily, i've done so, but I will never unblock them.

Hello there! I'm your long lost non-blocked person :)

I feel thankful to now have some breathing room after getting unblocked.

You'd probably have to at least click someone's profile to accidentally block someone. Not sure if a confirmation dialog appears when you click it.

Get ready for a flood of smug comments
