Dw you're government issued thigh highs will arrive upon you installing arch

Now all together: One of us, one of us, one.......

what about toxic idiots whose every comment is downvoted to oblivion and they make you want to stop even looking at comments anymore

Hey, I’m down for floor drugs but I’ve got a full test kit sooooooo

TEST EM (then do em)

Yeah, I do feel lemmy leaves something to be desired with blocking. I like Bluesky’s system, where it stops them from interacting with you and also breaks any posts of theirs that were quote tweeting (quote posting?) your posts.

The problem with that style of blocking is that it goes both ways.

Someone can post ignorant shite and block anyone who would give them pushback, then when other people look at the comments they think "wow I guess everyone here just agrees with this".

I guess I've always viewed making a post as standing on a street corner and shouting, not meeting on the side of a street with a group of your friends.

I guess it depends on if you view "subreddits" as communities, that is groups of people that you choose to associate with if you post there, or if you view them as topics that you want your post tagged as. A lot of social media sites take the latter approach, but reddit used to take the former, as did old style forums. It might just be from me spending more time on those kinds of platforms, but I do think the "community" approach is better.

Holy shit the number of blocks needed to cut out the communities of "questionable Japanese cartoons about characters that look suspiciously like young kids" is fucking insane

Try mentioning it without some neckbeard snorting about PrOJeCTinG lol

Would be good to have some kind of script that could do it

Even if you're not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

I wouldn't call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it's a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.

I don't like your profile pic. Always makes wanna check my phone screen

I'm gonna start following and bothering you!

Edit: huh boost for lemmy doesn't seem to have a "follow this user" button. So you might be save for now.

Yep. The only time I block someone is if they are actually being a dick specifically to me, my family, or my friends.

Pray tell, what are floor drugs please?

I wouldn't say that. But I do think 90% of society probably isn't worth interacting with through the medium of current social media.

I dunno if you’re talking about the Simpsons, but in season 14, the episode about Rock Camp, Homer eats a pill off the cabin floor & talks to Jesus over in the corner.
