At least on this site, there's so many times its the same miserable poster being overly hostile for no reason, there's no point in engaging
I block people all the time for being kinda annoying or unfunny or hostile to others and don't think twice about it
It feels like Hexbear is warmer than other places on social media. But I have this habit of scrolling past long comment chains, so maybe I'm just missing it.
Does blocking prevent the other person from seeing and replying to you? Or does it just stop you from seeing them? Thanks.
Stops you from seeing them
Thanks. I guess I'd like them to not be able to reply to me, but not seeing them is pretty good too.
Yeah it would be nice if it went both ways.
I dont think they can reply to you, I've blocked someone for being overly hostile in an argument and they couldn't reply to me
I've blocked a bunch of people and sometimes I see I have replies I can't see. I checked the comment chain while logged out and it was someone I'd blocked, so they can still reply sometimes at least
Blocked people have replied to me in the past. It definitely only half-stops you seeing their posts.
