I don't like that having them blocked means that they can't make comments on my posts. I think it hinders conversation. I only blocked users here because after seeing their posting habits I decided they were just making noise and not contributing anything of value to the site. However I still read their comments when they commented on my posts (I'd have to unroll them which wasn't a big deal).
I think blocking is so middleschool. I never really felt the need to block anyone.
It's useful if someone is harassing you, but to block someone because you don't like their opinions or comments is pathetic.
Ive been chronically harrassed by a few people. I ususally just harass them back. A couple of them ended up blocking me. Others got bored and stopped. One guy has been at it for a while but it sort of turned into a friendly game. Never blocked anyone on voat or here yet. But someone may change my mind about that.
I imagine you get some sexual harassment in particular from bad boys looking for attention. That has been my experience.
BLOCKED!
Ha!
I didn't know it does that. It shouldn't. Are you sure they can't comment? Or do you mean you can't see when they comment?
Anticlutch had me blocked for awhile and I couldn't say a word to him.
Which word?
He blocks everybody
Yes. If I have someone blocked they can't reply directly to my posts or comments. They can however reply to other commenters on my posts.
As of right now I am aware of three users that have me blocked, two of them post a shit ton here: /u/Simo_Hayha , /u/Ex-Redditor
The other one is a Q-tard who can't figure out how to share links directly (bypassing site controls for posting duplicate links): /u/rickki6
