People often ask, "why would you block someone you’ve never even spoken with ?" There are lots of reasons, but imagine you’ve posted about one of the worst experiences of your life, and a brand new profile checks it with
There's one guy that sets up new profiles to view mine and he's just being creepy and I've nothing to report as such, so I've started to respond to him saying "hiya" insert name" how are you?
I had 3 at once doing it while I spoke of myself and my kids being very sick with Covid. It was the same coward, they were shadow banned I believe b/c I never could see the accounts.
Block whenever for whatever you wish! This isn’t about being fair…it’s about making your experience …where you are …how you want it! I happen to block perfectly nice people all the time…mostly those that are younger than 16 …
Usually do block strangers that post vile things why should I keep company with folks I know I'm not going to get along with? Always an individuals choice.
I've noticed though that sometimes I am trying to click on the sad emoji and I click s different one instead by mistake. If I notice it I correct it immediately. But sometimes it could be just a mistake.
@SW-User That's happened to me many times also, when I just click on the corner of the reactions rectangle. Sometimes it keeps happening when I immediately try to change it, and I hope that person doesn't notice. 🥴
Sometimes when people respond I don't even comment or read what they wrote. I just block them immediately cause I know how humans are. Whatever they commented I know it is just another attack and they just aren't important enough to deal with. Needless to say I now have to ration blocks. lol
@DeWayfarer I block because I’ve been attacked here. It’s unsettling, and it interferes with my feelings of safety on the site. I know some people play games, but I have no other profile.
If intentional, that was obviously extremely 'mean' and petty. I can think of several things some of us might want to say to that person, including me.
I would block for that too. How could someone be so awful on a post like that. You have to block and protect yourself. I am sorry that happened.
I have to say when I react to a post I have hit the wrong reaction and I hate that. I correct it but the person sees that first reaction. I also bookmark posts a lot since it’s right by the reaction button too.
