thoughts on blocking
Not just on this site. But any site/platform in general. I personally block the most on disqus. Many people to reply to comments are doing so in bad faith. I simply choose to not give them my time. I block a lot on xitter too, especially EeLawn Mower.
Apparently some people refuse to block because they view it as "losing" and will continue to engage in arguments so they can be the "winner". Honestly never knew this was a thing lol I thought you should just block the moment the conversation turns hostile and/or drags on too long.
I don't view it as winning or losing, I prefer to think whether I've made my case or not. If I have and if the other person isn't focused on the point anymore and have resolved to insults or side-tracking, then I block to disengage and prevent childish arguments. I block because I can tell it is not necessary to keep talking.
It's there for a reason, I don't care if its seen as petty, if I don't like someone or if I don't like the content they post about(on twitter) then I'll Mute/Block the Acc or the Tag why make my life harder than it needs to be? I'm on here or on Social Media for a good time & not to pick fights with someone just because we have different opinions o...... reply
