Yuh-all, Nauts, a plea.
most of us here are loved and valuable to some or many of us here, if something is repeatedly upsetting to you, and there are people who you can block so it will remove it from your feed so you can engage in other topics of which there are many, please use the damn tools.
There are so many different kinds of people here with a thousand different beliefs,
find your tribe ♥️ block accounts who make you feel like you want to jump ship.
It’s not an echo chamber.
♥️🙏🏼♥️
Sure, but in that case, fully use the block button. Unless you really feel like you have no tribe, then of course it’s hurtful and I guess I don’t blame them for cutting out, @LnzyHou
I saw two people dog piled viciously. I stayed off for days afterwards. It wasn’t my battle (I stayed out) but really saw the nasty side of some high profile people. I blocked a couple too overt for even me.
@LnzyHou @Armchaircouch I don't think I've ever had to block anyone but I've probably been blocked a couple times. My first go-to is actually always the firehose to find something or someone new and interesting. Then again, I'm a "progressive" cisgender white GenX male ally (I hope) who doesn't spend enough time on the platform to get ticked off...
I’m at 109 as of today. Many have been splatted.
I’m glad you blocked, cause (selfishly :)) I like having you here! but, ay, it’s ok to jump in to stick up for someone if you’re upset for them. (I have, I don’t care who doesn’t like it), we’re kinda like family, sometimes families squabble… ♥️ :) @LnzyHou
@Armchaircouch agreed! If I see someone I love and / or respect being slandered, I will defend the hell out of them.
@Armchaircouch
Dogpiling is usually behind the jumping ship
