Pretty much.

Would the same anti-block people be okay with people showing up to their house, job, or on the street to argue about some stupid point? Why is it okay on social media? You have the right to tell people to go fuck off, it's called the 1st amendment.

Generally, here there's less annoying people, and I'm less likely to see a dipshit again, so I don't block much.

On tumblr and mastodon? Anyone who's slightly annoying gets blocked.

edit: seeing some of the comments here has me rethinking this.

Really its the same as meatspace. You don't hang with folks you don't like or take phone calls from them. My dream is a block thats symetrical. Blocking is in some ways creepy because its only one way.

The Alt text on this is really well done. I'm going to use it as my example when I berate folks for not doing it.

Lovely. Thanks!

I'd frame it more as 'a comic artist is not spreading normative ideas. They're just using the ideas people already have and juxtaposing them to get a laugh. They aren't there for debate because no one should be taking a comic artist's ideas that seriously. e.g. Dilbert guy'

Be normal on the internet about a female artist you don't like challenge (impossible).

Maybe I should block more. People say you only need to block like five users to drastically improve your Lemmy experience.
