I’m learning how useful “block” and “mute” are

Also, you can stop receiving notifications when someone comments on a post.

This is good for your mental health.

I have never muted anyone and have only occasionally blocked people here, but I am glad we have those options available to us. answerMug didn't allow blocking during the brief time I was there and I wasn't too happy about it. One of several reasons why I left the site.

@Rutterman I think I used “block”, “mute” and “stop notification” more in the past three hours than I have since I started on EP back in 2013.

I didn’t used to be the kind of person to just write people off. But I’ve discovered I can only tolerate bullsh1t up to a certain point, before I need to start avoiding it to preserve my mental health.

@SmartKat I totally understand. My tolerance for toxic people and their bullshit has decreased quite a bit. I mostly just ignore them, but I'm thinking I might have to start blocking more of these folks.

They are excellent options along with the "hide post" option.

They are great, arent they?

Sometimes the mute works out better than a block. 🤷‍♀️

I have blocked more here than I ever did in my many years on EP.

Mute is my favourite button
