I think I got blocked by someone. Huh.
It's a serious problem with social media - if you don't like what someone is saying, you can ignore them too easily.
Do that enough, and you'll never be exposed to anything the slightest bit challenging to your world view. You've made yourself ignorant, on purpose.
It's a puzzle. Personal growth is reliant on being exposed to new ideas and other opinions. Living in an echo chamber isn't healthy for your spirit.
@danalan I haven't blocked or even muted anyone on CoSo yet. I reserve the right of course, but even on Twitter I was loath to do that sort of thing (probably because I enjoyed returning fire too much😄 ). But CoSo is different: the tools largely render ass-hattery pointless, and trolls don't last here. CoSoNauts are typically good-faith participants. So I've managed on CoSo with literally no filtering so far.🙂
@Marc_T_Benedict
I haven't had to block anyone here either. I love to hear other people's world view. The clowns and trolls don't last here.
