I just went through way too much “thought” about someone calling me racist for asking a question. It really felt like a Qt and expose people situation. Block feels like it’s letting people off too easily.
That sort of thinking is a trap. You're not letting them off easy, you're sparing yourself the headache of dealing with them. When you let yourself care about a random jagoff's opinion of you, you've already lost.
It’s worth interrogating. I don’t think I care about the opinion. It’s more befuddlement. Or a warning to others. Or just rubbernecking. Like what is going on in people’s heads.
i understand the frustration post-debate especially if you actually want to talk about stuff like the debate without a bunch of people replying nonsense. i’ve muted a bunch of stuff and people, and still the doom is seeping in and i don’t like it
for all my whinging about "people have always been mean to me," I may have a greater tolerance for s*** than some folks do, by virtue of having had to put up with a lot of it. I don't know.
also maybe teaching for 25 years have thickened my skin
I think there are enough people on here who are just really crappy to other people that if you have opinions stronger than cold tapioca, you're gonna catch hell.
I blocked a lot of people based on people yelling nonsense at him
I just do not see the fun to be had in having more than around 500 followers. Could absolutely see myself pulling the plug if I got to the 4k mark. I do not foresee this ever being an issue.
I am on here because I need to see opinions of what's going on that are not totally insane. It's niche, and I have not found a lot from the former hellsite, even if some never followed me back. Those leaving here makes me sad.
if they make locking our accounts (allowing followers only by permission) a thing, I will lock at however many followers I have then.
as it is, I rarely follow back these days
