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?

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 with the new update it’s almost impossible now. It use to show in the comments a deleted comment which usually meant you were blocked by someone and if someone else commented to that user who isn’t blocked it would show their username when they replied to the comment even though you wouldn’t be able to view the comment. For example, how your username shows in the start of this comment I’m making, that’s how it would show and people would figure out they’re blocked by that user that way. Although, with the new update that’s no longer visible. Also, if you so happen to look up a person’s username and their profile doesn’t appear that’s another sign of being blocked. Although there’s really no sure way to tell, I think admin made it that way for procreation for the user who’s done the blocking.

@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.
