I finally gave up and blocked a couple of the resident knuckleheads here. Why put up with crap online that I wouldn't IRL?
I use blocking liberally. Here and FB. It took me a while to start, as I had just put up with the bs. But as I started bringing my circle of social media in, I started having less anxiety and depression. I’m also not offended if people block me, it’s probably that I’d want to block them anyhow. The notion that you should just put up with people amazes me, and has fro most of my life. Why should I have to befriend or put up with others?
Exactly why I left facebook. To be clear, the couple that I blocked here were pretty much trolls, just trying to provoke arguments.
