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.

I’ve done it with muting instead of blocking.

@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.

@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 haven’t blocked too many recently, but the mute button is strategically used, mostly for my own sanity. But I understand the desire

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!
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 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 · 41-45, 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 · 41-45, 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 · 41-45, F
@SlippingAway I leave too but not from.bekng annoyed
YoMomma ·
I’m still doing that 😏
Journaling4Me · 56-60, F
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.
how did I survive the night of the longknives pray tell?
MyNameIsHurl · 41-45, F
@StygianKohlrabi you're in my top 10 people I like
MyNameIsHurl · 41-45, F
Did you unblock some again ... or have I never slightly annoyed you?
@MyNameIsHurl Some of mine might have been caffeine deprivation.
MyNameIsHurl · 41-45, F
@NudasPriest oh yeah, I can see that
@MyNameIsHurl It's not pretty.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
I mute more than block
Pfuzylogic · M
I have categories of people that I automatically mute.
It takes some serious disrespect before I block.
Not usually. Instead, I prefer to spend most of my free time at or near the photo below, where there is no lying, no whiney victims, no bipolars, no false or baseless accusations or assumptions, no divas, no wierdos, and no political extremists.
