goo gone works better in my experience.
I look at it like this: I've seen, heard and read enough shit in my 48 years to know when I'm better off without certain types of people. So I block them. I'll never have to read a comment and see that username again and go, "oh, this fucker again... ugh"
In no way do I suffer from this approach and lose out on some enlightenment or critical information.its a win, win.
Worst case scenario is I blocked a decent person, but I'll never know and it still won't make my life any less fulfilling.
And for the record, I dont spend my days blocking people. Maybe four to six people a month (on Reddit), probably far less here, because most users seem decently grounded in comparison, with far less emotional issues.
But fuck yeah, I do love the block function when someone gives me that bad energy moment. It's liberating.
That's fair. It still makes them cowards though, word definitions don't change because we want harmony.
yadda yadda, anger, protest, retaliation, back down, bad vibe.
This is about the most useless thing I will learn all week. Interesting, but utterly useless.
You never met my ex.
I only had to read two of your comments to know I never want to read another one again.
Time to look for that block user option.
I'm a native speaker, and it comes off as condescending to me.
He is merely helping the guy be more readable and impactful. Especially since it wasn't a "fun" post. Posts educating people are in fact best served by removing the clutter. Chill.
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
What about linking to an archive that bypasses the paywall?
