If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

    blocking/not blocking doesnt ‘allow’ them anything cept maybe free rent in your brain… doesnt affect them at all.

    i tend to ignore them. my blocklist is very small

      We have different psychologies. Ignoring is less of an option for some of us. But “out of sight, out of mind.”

        im not saying one is better than the other, just that your experience is not affecting other humans.

        whether you block or ignore… no one else knows what youre doing, so youre not ‘influencing’ anyone else.
