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?

That's... How it's supposed to be? Not everyone is subscribed to all communities you know.

    I guess I just read /all, or whatever it's called here, and find it super annoying when the feed is filled with 2-3-4-5 copies of the same post from one person, with separate conversations going on.

    How do you read here, do you just subscribe to a few communities that don't overlap with frequent reposters?

    No, I experience the same thing, I just don't find it super annoying. I just skip over those posts, or actually, if it has comments, look at the actually different comments. Sometimes it's quite interesting how different places have different comments
