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.
Usually blocking 🚫 is done to limit someone from offending/ spreading info that doesn't match their perspective. Don't take it personally.
Like walking away from a bad conversation.
Like not finishing a book that isn't your cup of tea.
Bombardment of information requires many people to edit for their sanity. We are most definitely not an echo chamber here. This is our safe place.
Which is why I’m dumbfounded by folks who boldly claim “I’ve never blocked anyone” on CoSo.
Really?
Then your tolerance for rage, lies, racism & attack is unimaginable. After 2 yrs, my list is 100+
I left TW for that reason.
@LnzyHou @JulesofJoy @danalan I can't recall seeing anyone claim that they don't block anyone on CoSo.
I must have them all blocked.
