That’s not how you use this template
I often comment offering info on the subjects I know, and found that when an asshole is arguing I don’t need to answer when i know I’m right. Other commenters will back me up naturally by agreeing. (unless i’m wrong of course)
So in most cases unless you are just spreading lies, someone else will correct the assholes. This kinda removes the stress of troll replies i find
I’m very glad I got it out of my system when I was younger and was debating on Reddit over the stupidest of shit
Now I’m too busy irl, and if comment replies aren’t productive or entertaining to me, I just swipe them away and forget they ever existed.
You know you are wise when you just scrolled passed it and understand that the opinions of strangers do not matter to you.
Welcome to OP’s blocklist.
Either OP is a genius or a moron, or both
A monius
Granddaughter was the first one to get blocked!
When you find out that some games stopped having a ‘friends only’ option so you block people basically every match. Then find out your block list has a size limit…oof. Looking at you Blizzard.
It’s honestly the best course of action for one’s mental health
The amount of assholes I’ve blocked in the last year has been staggering
The amount of those assholes who are relatives would shock most people
When I play online games I just mute everyone. Gaming is my relaxing time and I don’t feel like listening to people throwing around insults or being obnoxious. There is very little team strategy discussion in most games anyway.
i had to real-life block my aunt and uncle. it was always something about how dumb liberals are and “you’ll understand when you’re older”. nah fuck you, i don’t need this shit in my life.
The only reason they get to say “you’ll understand when you’re older” is because they have something to protect as they got older.
In other words, they got theirs. And they don’t want to fucking share.
It’s a shit justification.
That’s always been the easiest way to distill their m.o. – “Fuck you, got mine”
Sometimes i think of wealth disparity in terms of an enormous game of musical chairs. Maybe I’m being naive, but i at least like to think that there’s enough chairs for everyone on the planet to get a seat. People carrying that “fuck you, got mine” mindset are hoarding chairs. The worst offenders are hoarding square miles of chairs. At the end of the day when the shit hits the fan though, everybody only needs/fits on a single chair. All that hoarding for something they’ll never use while denying folks who couldn’t get one at all.
It just makes no fucking sense to have that much money.
I’m haunted by a line from Silicon Valley. Rich people use money to keep score.
I used to worry that it was a losing strategy, because if I don’t block them then they will have unfettered access to the new people of the Internet. But then I started to think it doesn’t matter, I’d rather have my own mental health.
Unfortunately lemmy is a lot less active when you ban afford Assholes, muck rakers, and people just looking for fights.
But that kind of activity is noise and pollution, it is better to talk less but with sane people
sane ppl are boring. fite me 😼
ok grandma, let’s get you to reddit
pffft reddit. the real drama is on 4chan. i was there when they fought about boxxy
Queen 💕
There’s a little cake next to your… They have a lil cake day marker here? Wellwellwell just learned that. Happy 1 y anniversary bruv
lol, ty, but I lost several earlier accounts when their instances died.
PS: there is a text above the server list. something like it doesn’t matter what instance you choose. that was terribly misleading. if you don’t want to make a new account every coupla months, you have to choose one of the top 5 biggest instances
