This is the end of discourse on Poal.

I could let it slide on individual subs, but this is too far; ideas gone unmolested is the promotion of cancer... I suppose that I will have to find a new home.

EDIT: I propose the following solution.

Instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

See for petition to change it.

If I cannot post a reply to your post, other people are not able to read the reply that I would have posted. By blocking my ability to reply to your post, you are deciding for everyone else that they shouldn't be allowed to read what I have to say about whatever you post.

You can block me without blocking my ability to post for everyone else to see. If you don't want to be annoyed by what I have to say, fine. But why decide that for everyone else?

With great power comes responsibility.

If a user blocked you, why would you want to waste your time commenting knowing they don't care about what you have to say.

You are implying that OP can block an unlimited amount of users. They can't block all poal user base and will eventually have to answer to users who disagree with them.

Ok. This is how it went down on Gab. Cernobitch used to post on Gab. People called him a rapist, because he raped a bitch. He blocked everyone that mentioned it. He eventually left Gab because he couldn't prevent others from posting on his comments, so others, his followers, learned that Cerno raped a bitch.

Yes. I could have just blocked all Cerno's content and said fuck that guy.

Lauren Southern. Same thing. Grifter pieces of shit, ripping people off, getting rich by feeding boomer idiots pure garbage. Yes. I could have just blocked her.

That's why blocking users is limited to 50 slots.
