Image transcription: a post from @xed.bsky.social that says: “i never block anyone” is the social media equivalent of taking floor drugs
Let’s not count out floor drugs just yet. Get to know them a little.
My block rule is simple:
I prefer to make people block me.
Floor drugs? Back in the day we called them Ground Scores.
Reddit’s short list of good decisions definitely includes “disable replies.”
“Hide votes” is also a nice decision in lemmy :3
Strong disagree. Voting is preliminary moderation. It’s the wisdom of crowds. The fact Lemmy does nothing to hide comments at +1 -48 is fucking horrifying… especially when mods don’t just delete that shit, despite demanding all responses to it be “civil.” As if gentle and polite replies are appropriate in the face of plainly intolerable horseshit.
floor pills??? ss13 reference 😳
I dunno if you’re talking about the Simpsons, but in season 14, the episode about Rock Camp, Homer eats a pill off the cabin floor & talks to Jesus over in the corner.
I instance blocked lemmy.ml because of mods deleting my comments. I don’t want to accidentally get involved in discussions and spend time writing comments for them to just be deleted because the mods don’t agree with me.
Comments in linux@lemmy.ml are very unlikely to be deleted
I think lemmy.ml mods/admins often wipe entire comment histories in the community/instance when they remove specific comments. Say something about Taiwan and boom, your comments talking about toilet paper patents are gone
Don’t quote me on that though
Yeah I don’t want to just see content from people I agree with. Guess I’m crazy.
Yep. The only time I block someone is if they are actually being a dick specifically to me, my family, or my friends.
Once you realize that 90% of society is genuinely not worth interacting with, life gets better.
I wouldn’t say that. But I do think 90% of society probably isn’t worth interacting with through the medium of current social media.
I also do that.
So many blocks. It gets especially bad when US politics are spammed literally everywhere.
I don’t block often, but I do mute often, purely for the mental image of someone shittalking into a void.
You don’t have a pill identifier?
The only things I block are legit spam, and hexbear. And the only reason I block hexbear is because I’m banned from their instance and can’t interact with it anyway.
I don’t like your profile pic. Always makes wanna check my phone screen
It’s a classic.
Even if you’re not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?
I wouldn’t call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it’s a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.
My blocklist is insanely long. All sports, all furry shit, people from both, anime blocks all day - can’t stand the stupid mains/moe stuff.
Holy shit the number of blocks needed to cut out the communities of “questionable Japanese cartoons about characters that look suspiciously like young kids” is fucking insane
Try mentioning it without some neckbeard snorting about PrOJeCTinG lol
Would be good to have some kind of script that could do it
She might like like a 10 year old, but it’s fine. Shes a 600 year old vampire. Trust us bro.
