All three of the accounts I've blocked caught a site ban within a month or two.
The two I've blocked got made into mods. Blaming the RNG
Pretty much anyone can be made a modd of a comm, you just have to request it. I even have a comm which I REALLY need to get back to maintaining................................
I only currently have one account block and every time someone defends the user behind that account, which is always, I block all of those people too because it's funny.
But then I go and unblock them eventually. Except that one user. I'll block that user eternally.
But other than said user...yeah I usually don't need to block someone because if someone is being that bad mods handle them quick.
Anyway if anyone wants to catch a block my list is fresh today so I'm happy to add.
I don't block people with whom I am having pointless arguments that benefit nobody
because I'm not a coward
I am absolutely a coward
never block gang, it is due to my friendly nature and wet, doe-like eyes
Nah. I'm good. I removed them from my life for a reason.
We are not too small to be blocking people. In fact, I'd say we're too small to NOT be blocking people because you will run into them like every week. And the toxicity of disliking someone and not staying away from them is also Very Bad for community vibes.
Lastly, you should be making a new account and leaving your old one behind at least once a year for opsec reasons. This will reset your block list unless you take the time to recreate it on the new account.
absolutely fucking not. it only takes a few annoying posters to make a site this small absolutely unusable. the block feature is literally the best thing that's ever happened to hexbear
Death to America
I only have melina blocked and im not unblocking them
Same (I will never unblock c/fakenews as well)
never have to unblock if you make the other person block you
can a blocked person still see you?
I don't block people because unlike you snowflakes, I'm not so easily offended
I didn't even know we could block each other
I never felt the need to even check
no
It would be nice to have a temporary block in the same way mods have a temporary ban.
That's a good idea for a feature
i never block anyone because it would take away one of the few reasons i still use this site: to get mad at dumb takes
I have one blocked person and it's because they told me to grow up or something over just incredibly stupid internet shit. Like I'm just giving my opinion dude. Idk It was a bad day and I didn't appreciate the disrespect and hostility, so fuck off you're still blocked whoever you are
I've literally never blocked anyone
The one person I had blocked was a pretty prolific poster (says 3.47K comments since last January) and apparently she was banned (probably four months ago) and now I'm really curious why. I never actually interacted with her, but she joined lemmygrad like three years ago. Back then, there weren't a lot of posts on lemmy and I got a bit annoyed by how she found a way to turn so many threads into arguments, and was such a prolific poster in doing that. I ditched lemmygrad like a month or two after genzedong got banned from reddit because it went from a really chill place where I was learning stuff to every thread is a hostile argument and visiting was making my mental health worse even if I'm not involved in the arguments myself. I had a very quick trigger finger when I saw her username come to hexbear.
Hmm idk if I should be talking shit about other users but I blocked a very prolific power poster because he was so fucking annoying and I don't know why anyone liked him
I'm pretty sure the link bot and maybe neera are the only ones I've ever blocked and I'm not reconsidering those really lol. But I see your point (though like 1800+ people isn't that small)
Don't block me
I won't
I don't block because I'm always ready to fight again
blocking my own comrades? never done that before. why would i?
I wonder if anyone has blocked me. I do post pastas a lot but I try to keep them relevant
Never don't post pastas
Wasn't aware there was a block feature, can't say I've ever looked.
I don't think I've ever blocked anyone here. Theres at least one that maybe I should have blocked for my own mental health but they caught a temp ban so hopefully that user learned their lesson

Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.

Gossip posts go in c/gossip. Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from c/gossip
