Image transcription: a post from @xed.bsky.social that says: “i never block anyone” is the social media equivalent of taking floor drugs
Sometimes I like seeing crazy unhinged posts 🤷♀️
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 [email protected] 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’ve genuinely never felt the need, but I also don’t post for clout or proactively, I’m more of a reply guy in that I prefer the version of social media where I talk with people rather than at people and I do not give a crap about followers, upvotes or starting popular threads. Believe it or not that tends to do a lot to minimize the use cases for blocking, in that people rarely take the time to chase me around or specifically target me, even when things get heated.
But hey, if somebody is bothering you block away. I don’t have a moral stance on it.
I’m gonna start following and bothering you!
Edit: huh boost for lemmy doesn’t seem to have a “follow this user” button. So you might be save for now.
Put it on your calendar, daily repeating. Wake up, morning prep, breakfast + harass, you know?
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.
but…i like floor drugs??
Pray tell, what are floor drugs please?
you know how you’re not supposed to eat food after it’s fallen on the floor?
imagine that but with whatever pills people leave on the ground without even knowing what they are
(I’m assuming, I don’t do drugs)
Sounds like a Steves kinda thing
