What's all the fuss?

Frankly, I think blocking is overrated, and I don't worry about it. Not that it's happened very often to me... How about you?

Happens to everyone. No point in losing any sleep over it.

I block sparingly but I've been blocked quite a bit.
I don’t really care how people choose to block or if I get blocked, but I rarely block. In a way I think it helps me deal with situations I’d rather not deal with or I’d typically avoid, and it also builds my tolerance. so I just ignore and move on if I feel I’m not able to ignore them I resort to blocking.

blocking is the equivalent of me walking away from someone irl and never seeing them again, and there are a lot of people here that i choose not to risk interacting with because i'd rather take precautionary measures than get into a petty argument

I have over 300 hundred blocks, 😏but I'm pretty sure it's really only a dozen people.

@splendid Apparently I invoke a variety of emotions around here.🤔 I doubt if my blocks are a record since there really aren't 300 hundred people here.🤭

@Peaches Good point. I'm sure you are right about the blocks coming from relatively few people. So, what this means is you evoke strong reactions!
Peaches · F
@splendid ...without even trying.😶

Nah i don't block people, if we have different views so be it, if they feel they need to block me because of these differing views so be it.

Blocking is when you choose to not allow others to take cheap swipes at you and be disrespectful. I don’t think twice about it anymore. I despise smartass, hateful answers and will no longer put up with it. Just my 2 cents though.

@splendid 😀 I use to be too nice. Hard knocks in life causes my impatience. Life is too short to allow miserable people try to bring one down.

@SW-User Speaking from experience, it is vitally important to avoid being taken as a sucker. You are wise!

@splendid I try. I’m afraid I’ve made more than my share of foolish decisions in my time. 😏

I've only blocked three people...and I felt it was necessary each time.
Most times I just ignore and move on

how can I know if anyone has blocked ? I've asked the question before but got incomplete answers, like some people will mention that in certain discussions certain answers are not visible to me, but that could be someone I've blocked. so I don't know?
reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M
@Stark so basically its almost impossible to know since all the people I see are people that have not blocked me. I would need to remember a specific username that I used to see in the feed and haven't seen in a while and search for them.
@reflectingmonkey that’s what I said in my first sentence 😅 it’s almost impossible now, but honestly if you see a whole bunch of deleted comments in a post those are more than likely people who’ve blocked you. As far as figuring out who they are 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not likely unless they’re someone you once spoke to and can no longer search them. I never know who blocks me, even if I somehow figure out I never know who the person is 😐 they’re usually people I’ve not interacted with before so it’s really no biggie at the end of the day.

@Stark its just interesting and kind of boggles my mind to wonder if anyone has ever blocked me.

I wouldn't notice
only once, called out some troll on his inaccurte information, and lack of logic.

Good news eh?
