just because i don’t see their comments doesn’t mean they are shouting into the void. most of the time when you have discussion with alongside someone who is really crazy, it is not for them. you are not going to convince some antivaxer/election liar/other type of mental, it is not to convince them, it is just not to let their bullshit go unopposed, because there are few people out there who see the topic being discussed for the first time, and if no one contradicts that bullshit, it might seem that the bullshit is generally acceptable take.

it is tiresome, but if no one opens their mouth, they won.

and that is why i prefer “ignore” over “i have last word” button. if you want to opt out, that is fine, but you shouldn’t have the option to censor other people.

i mean it really can go both ways. you definitely can have some troll that is bothering you in a way where having such block power could be useful, but it can also be abused in a way i described. assholes will weaponize anything i guess.

might have something to do with the fact that when you punch someone, they can shoot back. but yeah, i agree that this person should be handled by the community. i would think that the kid has a father and he has some friends…?

That’s a nice feature.

that’s a shitty feature and i wouldn’t participate anywhere where they have that. you are free to ignore whomever you want, but this is “i have a last word” button and that is retarded.

you can’t have the power to say whatever bullshit you want publicly and then prevent people from calling you out.
