why don’t we just pre block mutually? i don’t wanna disappoint you but i will definitely feel free to moderate my timeline how i wish.

So far I see no reason but feel free to do what you want

your inflexibility on this suggests a lack understanding of what it means to be targeted for harassment online bc of your gender, race / ethnicity, or other identity & maybe bc of your work.

Sure as an immigrant I for sure have no idea what you mean

are you targeted online for harassment because of it? just checking. also do you have a choice about disclosing this in your online public profiles or no? just checking.

My profile: Glad to have 2 passports - just in case. #infosec, Atheist and also: Slava Ukraini. FYI - I will block any account that prevents my from replying - just saying

I also mute or block chronic "broadcasters," regardless of the position taken, but overlook it if it's occasional. (I get that some threads can get out of hand.) I figure if you want a private chat, block the post's visibility, don't widely one-way spray for clout but dodge the repercussions.

tell me you’ve never been a visible / out minority or woman on the internet without telling me…

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 wow amazing. But this is what the nuclear block button is for and I live it. BTW you are awesome and thank your for the reporting.

sorry for being salty ugh it’s too hot out & i’m the worst

Not all. Honestly, I can't even imagine how much shit you put up with.

Sorry - I can't claim the disadvantaged minority - just white male not from around here. So let's leave it at that - you do what you feel best and I'll follow my principle. If we don't collide - good.

i respect your experiences & rights all around including to disagree on this & judge others or block when you wish.

Cannot be, nor want to be what I'm not, but also don't owe anyone a hearing/viewing for any reason.

right. it’s just parlance. i think you are good to be flexible. it also seems like you maaaaaay lack understanding of why at least some people use that approach of “broadcasting” more. (it’s often a safety & moderation thing)

Don't sell me short. One can handle it any way one likes, but there is no downside to others in my blocking or muting them, unless SM for them is an exercise in profile building. Then, of course, it is a tiny failure *for them*. For me it's an exercise of my autonomy, and the cost to me is accepted.

i won’t. just sharing a view from the place where the world’s wealthiest person has directed his troll armies to bash me

The ability to block interrelated accounts with one click would be interesting (except that because so many seem to followback automatically here the chain reaction could be less than completely desirable)
