New hypothesis: the most efficient way to get people you've never heard of to block you is to say you think it's excessive to block someone for life b/c of one comment that didn't land right.
Or, maybe, to point out to someone that this is not the same as the toxic relationships in their life.

I think this is a bad attitude. I sort of see it for someone who gets as many comments as John does, I guess, but there are some people on this site who are ridiculously easily triggered. They will block b/c they didn't get a joke, or b/c someone politely disagreed, even if the person being 1/3
Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.
i also liked the fact that most of us who had come from the other site had the mentality of not giving "bad actors" the benefit of the doubt on here , and told all to block, not mute, an move on

Not only the ugliness (cf. Nixon). The pettiness and insecurity and the need to lie about everything he's done.
Also, "I one our Nation's Districts". :D
