Sometimes I still start typing, but just to realise a few words in that it’s entirely pointless. But usually I don’t bother blocking.
My block list isn’t very big (14 if you exclude NSFW accounts), so if you’re on it, you’re something of a special level of toxic.
FUCK YOU and your reasonable response to hatred. Also DUCK YOU for being a rational and well reasoned person. Most of all CLUCK YOU for your irrational hatred of chickens. i love you
I didn’t hate chickens until I played A Link to the Past
Happens to me all the time as well
I’ve never blocked anyone, although I’m tempted with one that has been stalking me for months, since I opened. I think it’s an alternate account of a troll on hexbear.
You can set user labels for them. That’s fun. Just some stupid quirky thing that makes you laugh whenever the respond to you.
Often such alts are quite open about who they are, some explicitly stating those facts and e.g. how their alt predates their hexbear account (so not created to get around a ban, but then in the very next sentence proudly announcing how they can use it to that effect, as if that is somehow any better, or even different in the slightest degree?).
I wouldn’t know how to find out for sure in your case without stalking them in return though:-).
I’m not all that sensitive so don’t care enough to investigate too far, it’s just pathetic on their account. Whatever arguments I originally made it was enough to keep an unstable person obsessed with my account for months.
Like I waste a lot of time on comment boards, especially in winter, but I’m not stalking people for months over some slight. Not for the day let alone months. I will check a profile, even comment if I have a valid opinion on something else they said. I’m not going ten pages deep or coming back after the fact though.
Yeah someone seems to be following you around downvoting everything you’ve said here - I hope you enjoy the opportunity to live rent-free inside their head 🤪
Yeah cuz ur a fuckin pussy
Perhaps but at least I’m at peace with that fact
What other kinds of pussy are there?
The virgin Mary’s pussy
Ohhhhhhh.
Report and move on
I mean… internet jannies are supposed to do their jobs and sweep away the trash, no?

I have a problem. I like good conversation. Unfortunately you can’t tell if someone will provide it online until a post or two. So I end up responding to haters. I should notice them more quickly.
Hot tip: check poster history before you commit too deep.
Learned that one on the hard streets of Reddit.
Yeah need to do that more often.
it would be nice if there were indicators by folk like me who are fucking mood swingy too.
[today the weather is: blustery with a 75% chance of bullshit] kind of thing

downvote and move on in peace
Sometimes, I reply to a hateful comment, only to have them reply back. Then I realize that they know more about (insert subject here) than I do. (⬭_⬭ )
Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
No they won’t
That subject is usually just the convenient outlet for being hateful. And hate’s a hell of a fuel.
But...
Them knowing more? Usually it’s just wikipedia.
Don’t feed the troll or hater.
Oh yes. :)
Always fun that Lemmy shows that people I’ve blocked replied too. I always hope they’re sitting there waiting for a response that’s never going to come.
i really wish that, but some people just have to get the last word in. i can name a few dipshits like that i interacted with on facebook, most of whom were me and some of whom weren’t, and it was a very hard behavior to unlearn.
I just remind myself that, if their first comment is unintelligent, their following comments usually don’t exceed that level.
Bark bark
Woof woof
Good boy
My Kryptonite is the professional controians I’ll bite to the point they’re just talking nonsense in some attempt to be right over having a discussion. Main reason I left Reddit got so bored of having to engage with someone’s sudo intellectual ego.
Remember, nothing says I don’t care what you think, like not responding.
Ah if only I had self control
