I always felt like it was wrong to block an account unless it was smth absolutely insane. Nazis etc.

But now I'm blocking people who's tone I dont like, or who are baiting or actingnin bad faith.

I know I can't do it as a mod. But i can certainly do it as an individual now. Judgy comment? Blocked. Unnecessarily confrontational? Blocked.

This is new to me, literally 3 days. Wonder how this affects my feed. Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can't see it. I wish they couldn't see anything I posted either.

What are your blocking habits? If you do block a lot of people, has that affected your experience?

First of all, thank you. Secondly, when did you change instances?

Also. Modding is easy in my comms. The biggest is !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz at 3k subscribers.

    Lol, I’ve been lurking since June but couldn’t decide which instance to sign up with; my friends are scattered all over the fediverse.

    Yes, I’m one of the idiots who picked an instance because I like the name. That’s my major decision for the year.

    I just subscribed. That community looks good, thanks!

    Picking by name is as good a reason as any. Can always move to a different instance
