      I get such a kick out of people blocking people on here because they don’t like what they have to say.

      “Hello, stranger. I know that the odds that I’ll ever encounter you again and realize that it’s you I’m encountering are slim to none, but I’m going to block you. Does that hurt your feelings?”

      What’s the fucking point? Seriously.

        Just saying, Lemmy’s userbase isn’t that big, so the odds of encountering the same user again, especially in a given community, are fairly high

          And by blocking in such a small user base you really cut back on the content you have available to yourself here on Lemmy.

            I’d rather have no content than have to read the posts of the same troll over and over again

              That’s a not-logical absoluteum type of reply. Without any content you wouldn’t be here to block people.

              At some point you need to open your mind to alternate opinions.

              You don’t have to like them, and yes, you can challenge them, but try to stick your head in the ground to ignore them will just end with you being ignorant and alone.

              Don’t imprison yourself.

                You’re assuming that I block people that are trying to argue anything worth reading. I only block people that troll and argue in bad faith (or actively make this place worse by being needlessly hostile). Challenging those people is useless, since they know they are wrong, they just don’t care. There is nothing of value to be learned from listening to them.

        What’s the fucking point? Seriously.

        Some people can’t handle existing outside of their bubble.

        The irony is that if they listen to opinions that are contrary to their own it may expand their bubble and allow them to escape it.
