All it appears to have done is turn Poal into a Twitter clone echo chamber.

It lets users prevent anyone who disagrees with them from commenting. Opposite of free speech.

There are a of useless retards around here. Being able to block them so I don't have to deal with their staggeringly moronic inability to comprehend ideas that take more than two brain cells to express is helpful to maintaining sanity.

What about users who use this feature to prevent any legitimate concern or complaint about the users presented information?

All someone has to do is block anyone who disagrees with them, and they can go along spouting their own echo chamber bullshit without question. Users like Conspirologist, AKA Alex Anderson - Trinity from GLP, etc.

It turns Poal into an echo chamber. Completely eliminates any desire I have to have a conversation if someone can just pretend they're right and run away.

If I wanted an echo chamber, I'd use twatter. This was a poor decision by admins.

Please post a link to the new website you build that is like Poal but without all the echo chamber things you think are bad. The site you build should not have a block feature or any other features you deem as poor decisions to a forum type site. Once you get the site going and the link to it posted here, we will all go over to your site and tell what kind of poor decisions you've made in implementing its features. You shouldn't ban, block or ignore any of our comments on it because that would make your new site an echo chamber where only speech aligned with your opinion of things will be allowed.

Now hurry up and go build that site so we can critique your decisions.

Freedom is choosing to speak as well as choosing not to listen.

[–] • 1 pt

Choosing not to listen is all well and good, but this "feature" also prevents someone from speaking at the same time.

In other words, I would have no complaint if it blocked the user from seeing my message but allowed my message to be posted for others to see.

Allowing users to selectively enforce who can respond to them at all is censorship. Period. Full stop.

They can still speak, I can choose not to listen, seems fair.

But they cannot speak.

Once you block them, they cannot reply to your comments or submissions.

If it just prevented YOU from seeing their response, but they could still respond and OTHERS could still see it, I would agree with you.

By disallowing anyone who disagrees with you from even posting at all, you block the ability for an idea to be defeated by a greater idea, and turn this place into an echo chamber.

I'm blocking you now. How many miles of dick do you suck a week? Jesus dude.

your first instinct is to block people you disagree with. that’s on you.

I block users who obviously spam. the /new page for me isn’t cluttered with degenerate low iq twitter posts.

you need to learn how to effectively use the block option. users who are a few days old and already have created a few hundred new posts are the only people I have blocked. users who I vehemently disagree with are still visible to me.

the freedom to choose between being a censoring kike or an organized user is available to you on this website. its sad that the first thing you would assume people would do is the former.

Are you retarded?

I am the one getting blocked by users who cannot defeat my argument with a better argument.

You morons here have gradeschool level reading comprehension, and then you rant about it like idiots.

Did you even click the link in the OP title? 0k blocked me when he couldn't refute that Brave is spyware. He shilled for Jewgle.

you being blocked by fools is a small price to pay for blocking spam.

quit being a self-centered twat. faggots like you allow floods of child porn into websites.

You're a pro-censorship nigger.

Y’know when you log on, and 80% of the first 3 pages is bullshit spammed by some retard?

That’s what it’s for.

Ok. That's fine. I have no problem with it blocking you from seeing their content.

Why should it also block them from responding to yours, however? What is the reason for this, other than to censor someone completely from defeating something you type with a better idea?

If, for example, you block me, and I can no longer reply to ANYTHING you type - then I am censored from pointing out information that defeats your ideas with better ideas.

It's censorship. Period.
