Oh hey blocked again
4 years ago
General
I know I somewhat recently said something related to the topic of blocking but I feel it's now even worse.
(I swear this journal did not spark because I wanted to ask a random user a question in the comments)
I don't think this issue concerns myself either as I've read many people claim the same has happened to them as well, especially as of the last year or so.
I understand that there is one particular line on my profile that probably rustles peoples jimmies, but I'm almost certain people don't even get that far before they put in MORE of the effort to go to their blocklist and start writing down names.
It legitimately blows my mind that people who you've never spoken to, not even for a single second, have the thought of blocking someone for almost no real significant reason.
I mean you could argue that blocking someone GUARANTEES the fact they'll never be able to talk to you but there are SO MANY things you can still see.
Here are some great examples of what you can still do when you block someone:
-You can still see their profile, every comment they post, their journals, etc
-The blocked person can still see your profile, comments, posts, etc
-You can literally remove their name, post a comment and then block them immediately after anyway
Since there has been an influx of people blocking others for seemingly little to no reason it actually makes me believe there are people that are just running around other platforms (for example discord servers?) and then just telling people to block users.
I just recently spoke to an artist whom I shall not name (that has REALLY good art I'd love to share but uhhh) -- because I just suddenly turned up blocked by them and after asking them what the reason was they simply replied with "Oh because someone said you were mean".
Even after stating I loved their work and them claiming "there was nothing personal" and that I "seemed rather cool" I still to this day am blocked by them.
I wish people would just talk to each other again or at the very least simply discuss things that irk them.
Maybe we got off on the wrong foot
Maybe we just had a misunderstanding
Maybe the comment the person made was justified and you don't know the whole story
Hell maybe the person insulting the other is their friend and that is how they interact
For people claiming that we're pointing guns they sure seem to be the ones loading them too.

Sorry they blocked you.
Really!? hahaha
I likely did the same.
