That was more of a juxtaposition of the example you gave of blocking = putting your head in the sand VS everyone’s opinion should be heard. My main point being that there is a happy medium between the two.
I probably should have phrased that differently, sorry.
Eh, I would rather get blocked than have a troll that follows me everywhere.
I don’t know for sure if this user is one, but everybody wants something different from their online experience and I don’t think there is anything wrong with curating it.
IF they hate politics and don’t want to see it anywhere on their feed, that is their choice. It may come back to bite them in the ass with IRL “leopards ate my face” style consequences when they realize that politics affects everyone, but it is still their choice.
The midset of “Everyone’s opinion is valid and should be heard” is a neo-liberal perspective with their “centrist” (right leaning) approach. That is how we got to institutions platforming literal Nazis on debate channels.
I think there is a happy medium where it is alright to block users or hide posts if their messaging is just counterproductive or inflammatory.
Also it is better to block trolls than rag on them, their goal is typically to get any reaction.
I like to give them a chance to discuss and try to introduce them to a new perspective, but the second they throw a blatantly bad faith comment, I am going for the block button.
Just as a reminder, you are able to block users if you do not like what they are posting.
My friend, this post is about China getting cut off from the rest of the word, most likely due to government censorship.
The title of this community is Technology.
It is a PSA about the current steps the US is taking towards similar levels of censorship. This is pretty damn relevant to both the community and the post topic.
I know some people don’t like it, but politics is part of tons of different communities. Even a crafting community would be affected by the current tariffs.
Buisness cost. How come I get the feeling this might be tax write-off-able for them.
They are trying, just give them a bit more time and money and money and money and money.
Saying that makes it clear you have no intention of having a good faith, nuanced discussion of politics.
Get blocked.
If you cannot accept that LESS people would have suffered if the dems won, I cannot help ya.
You are right, I heard Kamala was planning to implement project 2025 if dumpy didn’t. /s
i know it’s difficult for most democrats to pay attention beyond the propaganda cloud, but try to open your eyes
continues to completely miss the main point of the comment.
I like it :)
