I went through a phase where I blocked everyone on here who even slightly annoyed me..it was a lot of people.

I block people who I find confusing. Like, I've tried understanding where they are coming from and I just end up more confused.

I don't know about mildly annoying. I tend to give them a few days. Maybe they were having a bad day/week. If I am continuously annoyed, then I block.

I don't bother with muting.

There was a few days in a row where I was just like “give me one reason” and several did. Think I’ve since unblocked them though and vowed to never come here again when my mood was that darkened.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
I haven’t blocked too many recently, but the mute button is strategically used, mostly for my own sanity. But I understand the desire
I preemptively block people whose posts are exclusively about sex. I like sex as much as anyone but there's got to be more to a person than that.

I’ve done it with muting instead of blocking.
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@MellyMel22 it's like, we have to deal with people that annoy us offline, why deal with it in our leisure time if we don't have to.
MellyMel22 · F
@MyNameIsHurl I totally agree with you. If I continued to see someone that I muted and they bothered me enough, I would’ve blocked them too.

I don't block people usually and if I do they must have struck a nerve I didn't know I had. It's that thing about keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

I have muted people who annoyed me until I got notifications that so&so commented on a post & sure enough it was someone I muted so then I blocked. Probably about 5 who I never interacted with but their posts simply annoyed me.

@Tumbleweed I muted those commenters aka simps as well.
Tumbleweed · F
@Magenta The ones with the endless selfies are amoung the first to go & the one who kept talking like she was a dog was annoying af too...

I've never blocked anyone and I don't think anyone has ever blocked me. I'm a swell fella!
Ferric67 · M
I've never blocked anyone, ever Hurl
even if they clearly deserve to be blocked

I got blocked by someone yesterday, who deserved to be blocked
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@Ferric67 why not?
Ferric67 · M
@MyNameIsHurl I treat this place as if it's a figment of my imagination...my make believe friends and foes
therefore, I can script that narrative....even if they get too rowdy for my mood
I can always just ignore them....and it's easy enough to do if I place my attention elsewhere

It's my perception
after all, perception is reality
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@Ferric67 that's an interesting perspective.
Not the block but I get the annoyed part not to them but to me.
Lilymoon · F
Yeah .. some I've regretted
Magenta · F
I indeed did that with muting. The constant saturation of them on the feed became too annoying.
I mute when they annoy me if I think they’ll stay away. If they keep turning up on my posts, or it looks like they might, I block.
SlippingAway · 46-50, F
No, I just leave for a while when people annoy me
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@SlippingAway I leave too but not from.bekng annoyed
GoFish ·
I’m still doing that 😏
SW-User
I am doing that now..😅
not sure I have enough blocks for that
RedBaron · M
I’ve blocked people and then unblocked them later.
FreestyleArt · 36-40, M
Years ago yes.
Perry1968 · M
No. I think the only person i blocked was a nutjub threatening to kill me some years back. I said i lived in embankment rd plymouth devon at the time but yeah it was all hot air. So i did block them then.
StygianKohlrabi · 46-50, M
how did I survive the night of the longknives pray tell?
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@StygianKohlrabi you're in my top 10 people I like

I have categories of people that I automatically mute.
It takes some serious disrespect before I block.
Did you unblock some again ... or have I never slightly annoyed you?
@MyNameIsHurl Some of mine might have been caffeine deprivation.
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@NudasPriest oh yeah, I can see that
@MyNameIsHurl It's not pretty.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
I mute more than block
SpectralMourning · 41-45, M
I suppose I have. Slight annoyances that in the moment I blocked them felt like major fucking aggravations. We have our days.
MyNameIsHurl · 46-50, F
@SpectralMourning yeah, I blame hormones but then I look back on the block list and no regrets
SpectralMourning · 41-45, M
@MyNameIsHurl None for me either. Impulse or not there was reason for it.
