FWIW I think it’s helpful to just block liberally! People can say whatever you want (within terms of service) but you don’t have to listen !

It’s recognizing that social media will never be “perfect” for real dynamic human interactions because it has been co-opted by bad actors (or whatever the correct phrase is) We’ve lost option to verify who a person is by the look in their eye and tone of their voice.

Just go away you crybaby. You are a billionaire with the power to do anything, to fix any problem, and you are spending your time on bluesky crying because people didn't applaud you for saying something stupid. Go buy a personality you useless mannequin.

It is disappointing, but I don't follow people who post nonsense and I don't have patience for people who constantly quote tweet or retweet morons in their replies. I don't begrudge you for being annoyed at these people, just don't add them to my timeline. Tom Nichols has the same problem.

For public figures, it would probably make a lot of sense to have a shared block list that you’d curate amongst yourselves. Those bad faith trolls are exhausting. It’s one way to stop them before they can start.

Also, you have to admit there’s something fun in the basic economics of it all. No barrier to entry means anyone and everyone is welcome to come and troll. Then you have the Digg beta that has a cover charge (later donated to an NPO) so only people who really want to participate come.

I fear that one day government IDs might be needed to register and use these platforms because some of us may feel the need of some degree of anonymity for safety sake (Ie having such a unique name that there is no chance of it being anyone but that person).

But sadly I think that the never ending “for the children’s sake” trade off of privacy for “security” will one day get us there. Then who knows what these platforms will look like.

It’s a shame that so many people see a platform like this as a means to just “shit” on everything instead of seeing it as one of civilization’s great equalizers. The ability to engage in actual discourse anywhere with anyone (provided they don’t block you). That ideas I have can be seen by you.

When I was a young man, the nonsense you're talking about here would rarely have an audience beyond those within earshot of the end of the bar. Now, it has a global 24/7 signal boost. It's definitely disappointing, but also, sadly, not surprising. It's the Wild West out there.

People's dumbassity isn't limited to any social site (although there's a lot more on Twitter). People's insensitivity and rudeness are products of society. Unfortunate? Yes. Sad? Absolutely. I will never understand people who take time to be perpetually cruel (and knowingly wrong) anywhere.

A lot of the anger comes from people feeling powerless and hopeless. Most of your posts are forward looking & positive (without being Trump-coded). You're posting from a place of agency that feels very alien to many right now. People don't want to debate - they are in fight or flight mode.

If he’s asking people to “give trump some credit for things” he deserves to be trolled.

He didn’t ask that exactly (unless there’s something new). He proposed a hypothetical choice to praise Trump and guarantee fair elections in which democrats win a lot or not praise him and have unfair elections where democrats lose. Admittedly dumb question. But people seem really devoted to losing.

The fact is he was harder on David stern than he is on trump. He’s just another rich conman. Someday trump will come after him and he’ll wish he fought back sooner. Zero balls. Will never be president.

Ideally, no billionaires for president. But cost plus drugs was a legit good (beneficent) thing to do with a large amount of money.

He also said Warren's tax proposal (which would be a duly passed law) was a worse shakedown than Trump unilaterally taking 10% of Intel specifically and illegally. And this was just a few days ago.

Yes. If you block then they can’t see your posts and you won’t see theirs. It’s work at first, but it pays off because you’ll develop a peaceful ecosystem. Trolls are attracted to high profile accounts because they want attention. That’s where my blocking finger gets a workout! 🤠
