I recently asked for block recommendations to see more content that I can engage with and I had a reply from someone saying that if I was that upset with the internet, I should stop using it.
You can guess what happened next!

On reddit, it will eventually break the user experience. (page loading times / errors). Does this site handle the database differently?
I'm kinda weird about this - I will block some folks that I feel are toxic, but some folks I put tags on just to see where they pop up. Sometimes I've been too quick to judge people, and most times I definitely judged correctly. So I use tags to stage people for blocking, lol.

I don't know why people want to have the same arguments with the same people, over and over again knowing it'll never be productive.
For them social media is just a pvp arguing arena.
I don't have the energy for that, if someone just doesn't get something after 3-5 replies I stop replying, if it keeps happening elsewhere or they act like a dick, I just block them.
Why waste your time on something that you know is only going to fail and likely cause yourself aggravation?

I had one person who felt malicious replying weird stuff onto a lot of my posts. Blocked. But the only blocking I've ever thought twice about. I wonder if he still does that.
Otherwise I too block everyone and everything I don't like, just vibe wise. I don't need to have a great reason
