      It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place and thus I don’t block them but are otherwise overly committed to specific and weirdly hyper critical takes.

      Like they want the discussion/fight but only as long as they win every time even though no one is 100% right about anything. And not everyone needs to know or believe in the same hyper specific thought process they believe in.

        Zero tolerance policy here. If a person is being needlessly antagonistic or resorting to personal attacks, they get blocked. On reddit it was pointless because the assholes number in the millions, but Lemmy is small enough that it’s made the experience better over time.

          Reddit’s blocking mechanism was also insane. Take this hypothetical thread,

          • User A
          • User B
          • User C

          If User B blocks User A, User A cannot reply to User C. Blocking on Reddit prevents people from replying to anything that is a reply to you instead of just your own comments.

            Works the same here, from what I can tell. I would prefer a “this user has been blocked by you” message instead of just cutting off the whole thread.

              Really? Someone want to volunteer to be blocked temporarily?
