Do you block someone when…

Do you ever block someone when they completely ignore you? I mean like never ever interact with you.

If they comment on your posts it’s to talk to someone else. If they comment on your replies on another post it’s to reply to someone else who has replied on your comment.

I just figured that I don’t bring any value to this person so I removed myself from them and having them avoid me.

Not trying to be dramatic or anything, just curious how others feel 🩷.

Yeah, i have. Theres a fair few peeps that completely ignore me even if i say something nice on their post. They seem to ignore my comment and like and reply to everyone else!!
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@RubySoo I think you are
MellyMel22 · F
@RubySoo That’s rude 😞 You’re always sweet.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@MellyMel22 aww...thank you. 🤗
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
I block anyone who might detract from the fun I have here. Might be MAGAts, might be the folks who post gibberish. Whatever. This is my fun space.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@DunningKruger I got rid of them but I don’t block many people. I only have 100 blocked.
GunFinger · F
There are people who completely ignore me. They go to my post to reply to other people. They never like my posts too, but I don't block them. I actually want to chat and befriend them, but I'm shy I'm thinking I might get embarrassed. I only block people who are mean, people who come to my post and become negative or who are overly pervy and I don't even know them.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@GunFinger it’s crazy isn’t it. I can’t imagine why people would do this to you. You’re lovely 🩷.

Only if it's super-often, like multiple times a day most days. I can ignore occasional, even if it's kinda often

@iamonfire696 I wonder who it is now 🤔

@SW-User I will PM you.

This is an interactive site. If you read a post, at least leave some type of emoji response. Leaving a comment can create opportunities for dialogue.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@OverTheHill I agree with you 🩷
FlowersInHerHair · 51-55, F
I don’t block anyone. And I like that people will interact with each other in my posts…even if I’m not in their conversation. It’s actually how I met a few good folks here.

To have people connect with each other because of something I’ve shared makes me smile.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@FlowersInHerHair but do these people always ignore you and never interact with you? I don’t mind that people don’t acknowledge me on my own posts.

This person has NEVER ever acknowledged me on any post, mine, theirs, another user. I am invisible so I just made myself invisible permanently.
FlowersInHerHair · 51-55, F
@iamonfire696 I don’t really know. Guess I’ve never paid much attention. 🤷🏻‍♀️
HumanEarth · F
I actually I have one person person block, me of all people. The anti blocker, but it was my fault and I created a monster.


I was forced to blocked Gerry

I normally ignore
HoeBag · 51-55, F
@HumanEarth
I just hate blocking people

Some of us are not fans of blocking others.
Sometimes though it is just really needed.

In my case, spammers and scammers get ZERO consideration. Especially on my phone.
Honestly I would highly recommend everyone do the same. They are basically trying to steal from you.

Exceptionally persistent rude people normally get blocked.

AND, people that block and unblock me typically end up on my block list.

My blocked list is pretty small and most of them probably are gone anyways.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@OlderSometimesWiser Oh no worries, it’s not like you have never interacted with me.

I can be nosy too 👀🤭.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@HoeBag People that have never blocked anyone, I will never get. I wanna protect my peace here and you have seen some of the people here 🥹
Piper · 61-69, F
No. I might consider it though, if they only came on my few posts to reply to someone else, and consistently ignored my my comments to them...or on their posts.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Piper that was the case and today was just the final straw.
SW-User
If I feel ignored and bothered by it I might do it. I’m not always the best at answering, myself tho 😩💖
@SW-User That's alright. Social media is a Mecca for hypocrisy and SW is no exception. 😆
SW-User
@iamonfire696 I’m sorry 🥺💖
Magenta · F
@RogueLodyte Facts.
Good question, and I don’t think I have, but I can understand it if someone did. They’re just using you as a conduit to get to others.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
Primnproper · 56-60, F
I don't block but if i consider them to be outwardly rude then i will remove them if in my friends or followers list. Then i just dont notice them, they become one of the group that have no consequence to me.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@iamonfire696 nope, so I'm happy to just let go. I'll be a loyal and trusting friend but if they kick the ass out of it they're gone.

@iamonfire696 🤗 i think that it just means more to me than it does them. So its their loss.
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
I never get why people comment under a reply someone has posted but not to the poster.. seems odd to me. Worse still when they start talking about something completely different from what I've posted. Make your own post if you want to discuss something else.

I don't tend to block but its not happened often.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Beautywithin I have only done it twice because it was pretty clear they were avoiding me. So bye Felicia lol
HoeBag · 51-55, F
@iamonfire696 This hypothetical "Felicia" is the most blocked lady on the web. 😄
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@HoeBag this made me laugh so hard 🤣
HoeBag · 51-55, F
Hmm, well...

I seldom block. I do not even know what words will get a post hidden anymore so I will leave it at that.

It can be a bit frustrating if we try to interact with someone a few times and they do not acknowledge our existence.
I figure there is so much going on with SW that it can be hard to keep up. So, benefit of the doubt.

I have had only one incident where I felt kind of hurt by something like this, but I shall send a PM about that.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@HoeBag I know you don’t block. I read it and that was really 💩.
I can understand doing that. I usually block those that send rude messages. That make an effort to get blocked
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Bexsy this person has never ever acknowledged me in any way lol.
@iamonfire696 ahhh, I have some that do that to me. Even on my own posts ( with others)
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Bexsy yes that’s what this person does. I was kinda tired of it so I fixed it lol.
MellyMel22 · F
I believe I blocked an older woman who does that. I noticed she did it to many women for awhile. It irritated me to see she was ignoring not just me, but other women who were kind to her. I won’t say why publicly, but it was clear why. You know how that saying about lifting other women up goes? Well this one ignored most women at that time who were trying to do that for her. That’s what made me block or mute her. Pretty sure I blocked her though.
MellyMel22 · F
@Jenny1234 I believe it. It’s messed up.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@MellyMel22 I totally know what you mean. There are women here that are not for the woman though, not at all!
MellyMel22 · F
Yup. I call it the "block of benevolence". I'm doing them a favor by blocking them.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@RogueLodyte Yes, you’re right.
@iamonfire696 They don't have to go through the 'stress' of ignoring me. 🤭
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@RogueLodyte I have done them a favour of removing that stress from them too 🤭
Yep I’ve done that.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Notladylike I feel justified now 🥹
@iamonfire696 I find it so bizarre when I try and interact with someone on their posts and they always blank me. No time for it.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Notladylike Right, like wtf is with that.
Being completely ignored hasn’t happened yet but if/when it does, I can certainly see myself becoming annoyed and there’d likely come a time when they’d get flushed down the crapper.

I’ve actually had sort of the opposite happen. Someone was initially annoyed by my reply on one of their comments so I told them not to worry, I wouldn’t bother them again. But I guess they figured I wasn’t so bad because they started to follow me around like a puppy positive emojiing my replies. Which I tolerated for a long while but then they started leaving dopey comments as well. I also noticed that they could be very nasty to others.

Well this is my fun/distraction time and there’s no need for me to keep someone around who detracts from that.

Down the crapper they went. 🚽
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@OlderSometimesWiser Thank you, still waiting to see the Cardiologist to sort out this heart stuff so I am trying to manage it until then.
@iamonfire696 I hope you can get some answers soon and things start moving in a positive direction. Can’t be easy and I admire your strength. I can feel it from here in the states all the way up there in Canada. 🙂
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@OlderSometimesWiser I am not having a coronary so I have to wait which sucks. I hope I get in soon for my echo and to see the Cardio. Thank you so much, I appreciate it 🩷.
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
I don't block but there are a couple of people I do deliberately ignore, both have multiple accounts and I don't like any of them so I might well be guilty of doing to someone else what has been done to you.

In my defence I don't wanna interact with personas, I prefer people who are real so I avoid interacting with them 😕

I know it's not very nice of me but nobody is perfect!
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@AntisocialTroll that’s understandable, I know of a few here that have multiple accounts.

I am not the only one this person completely ignores so at least there is that.
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@iamonfire696 Both of the people I'm on about have me blocked on one of their accounts, I think I'm kinda hoping to annoy them enough to block me on all of them. 🤣

Is the person doing this to you and others a non blocker? Might they have been trying to get blocked by you?
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@AntisocialTroll haha you’re funny, try harder won’t ya 🤭

I don’t know if they don’t block but I am happy to have them gone now.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
I'm not sure that I would notice? 🤔 But then I'm not here as much as I used to be.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@sarabee1995 Don’t be sorry. I hope everything is going well even though you’re busy 🩷.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@iamonfire696 Well I'm cleared back to work as of last month so I've been catching up with a lot. And I took some time off together with my gf. So yeah... Things are good, just busy. 🫂
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@sarabee1995 I am so happy to hear that 🩷.
DarkXtecy · 41-45, M
I only block if someone blocks me.
Also does the report system really work or is it just there as false hope. Because, most of the report system just tilts towards blocking the individual.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@DarkXtecy because if that person keeps posting things against the terms or service or they are harassing people. They get banned, that’s the point.
DarkXtecy · 41-45, M
@iamonfire696 but thats what my concern is, are they actually getting banned? Coz once you block someone, we never know about any update concerning the block individual, for all we know they could just continue making offensive post and we will never know.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@DarkXtecy well if you block them you won’t know until they get banned. If you go to your block list and they are gone you will be able to see that the account is gone because it will show up as SW-User on your block list.
bookerdana · M
No....only for egregiously insulting and rude behavior directed toward me
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@bookerdana Well I feel petty today lol.

Those are very valid reasons to block and usually the reasons I block too.
bookerdana · M
@iamonfire696 Well I do not have VIP and cannot say,I am the Mighty Bookerdana and I dost cast ye out of my UNIVERSE😆
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@bookerdana I have VIP but I only have 100 people blocked so that wasn’t an issue. They just gave me bad vibes.
YMITheWayIM · 46-50, M
There are a few such people. But, I kinda know them, and they know me. I warn them when their unending chatter starts driving me crazy through notifications, and I tell them to get a room. They comply.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@YMITheWayIM I have only done it twice when it’s so blatantly obvious.
YMITheWayIM · 46-50, M
@iamonfire696 There are some youngsters, but I know they're punks and operate in gangs and packs. The problematic ones are usually the adult ones.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@YMITheWayIM agreed
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
I’ve noticed this myself with a couple of people. I haven’t blocked them but I no longer comment on their posts
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Jenny1234 I have tried to ignore it but yesterday I just thought, nah I am removing you lol.
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@iamonfire696 yeah makes sense otherwise it will just continue to bug you.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Jenny1234 yes you’re right 🩷
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
If they completely ignore me, thats ok.

I do not block them unless a previous interaction on a previous post went sour.

I usually block who do not align with my thinking , or someone who loves to argue with me on a common thread.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@scorpiolovedeep those are good reasons to block.
CultOfPersonality · 36-40, M
Yeah I get that, at times I have. Not to everyone though
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@CultOfPersonality I understand not interacting at times but this person has never interacted with me so I just blocked them.
CultOfPersonality · 36-40, M
@iamonfire696 that’s fair
SW-User
When I feel like they’re doing it on purpose and there is a pattern yes, I have.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User I felt like this
I've never had to block someone, but if they did the same to me as they did to you, I wouldn't be opposed to blocking them.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@cinsac you have never blocked anyone, you’re one of those rare people here lol.
[@iamonfire69] lol, Rare like I like my steak.

No need to block in my opinion.

@Teslin my opinion is different

@iamonfire696 And you have that right 😊

No, they have to annoy me to get me to block them, if i don't engage with someone like that, i won't take that action.

@SW-User I tried to engage and I got nothing so I removed myself

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@CrazyMusicLover I don’t feel petty anymore lol
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@iamonfire696 I don't think it's petty. It's a weird and rude behaviour on their part. Imagine it happening in real life.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@CrazyMusicLover Yeah, you’re right. Thats even worse.
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
Yup, or I mute them. Depends on how irritating I find it that day. XD
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
@iamonfire696 Dunno but it pisses me off. 😂
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@thepeculiarpanda they probably figured no one would reach it 😂
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
@iamonfire696 I aim to disprove XD
ReneeT · 61-69, F
I don't try to block someone unless they become very mean spirited. And if there are a lot of negative comments about me or my friends.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@ReneeT those are good reasons 🩷
mooncrest02 · 31-35, F
Idk i havent noticed anything like that anyway, i only block people that are really rude toward me that have offended me. Anyone else i might just put on ignore or see less.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@mooncrest02 I notice lots of stuff and patterns which can be annoying. Thats a good reason to block.
666Maggotz · F
Yes, I block for any reason tbh it can be just a bad vibe.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@666Maggotz You’re right, it is a bad vibe.
Generally I dont bother with them
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@TheDeathOCuHullainn I tried but my pettiness won out 🥹
I would definitely block someone under those circumstances. If they don’t want to interact with me, they can stay off my posts, too.

@bijouxbroussard thank you, I felt a little bad but now I don’t. I am not even sure why because they won’t even care a little.

@iamonfire696 I hope you know I respect you and your opinion.

@Cantsayno I do
I'm against BLOCKING or MUTE . 🙏

Always avoid political & religious post.

Do not care if someone BLOCK me here.
I respect their choice. 🙏
@iamonfire696 Just avoid mass.

@iamonfire696 oh yeah both genders
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@HatBroski definitely
No.
I block people who piss me off though. I’m not easily angered and I’m very forgiving. I don’t care if I’m ignored. I guess I don’t put much value in online friendships though. I used to, but.. anyhow.
I don’t see anything wrong with blocking them. Makes your experience better for you.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@nonsensiclesnail those are valid reasons for blocking abd I understand about the online friendships.
