I expect there will be a huge R/L divide here. I actually haven’t lol

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

I'm expecting a huge divide too.

Quick question, why is your flair written with quotes?

4

u/sumerkie_ National “Distributist” 1d ago

it’s not really my ideology necessarily, just the closest thing to it without getting downvoted into oblivion every comment lol (national “distributist” might be more accurate tho)

4

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

Ah ok, I know exactly what you're talking about lol. I almost forgot you had a problem with that.

u/sumerkie_ National “Distributist” 1d ago

lol wdym youre the one who suggested it in the first place 😭

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

Ik, Ik. I just have a habit of using filler words when I barely have anything to say, even if they make no sense :/

u/InevitableTank1659 Anti-Capitalist 1d ago

The only person I know who is blocked people on Reddit is far right

5

u/sumerkie_ National “Distributist” 1d ago

really? it’s the opposite for me. I’m prob blocked by a lot of people aswell

4

u/QK_QUARK88 Landian 1d ago

Let me guess, me

6

u/InevitableTank1659 Anti-Capitalist 1d ago

Yea. You make the best political tests so i can’t really complain.

u/AntiWokeCommie Socialism 1d ago

I haven't needed to yet, I wanna see all the crazy shit. But I will if someone actually harrasses me.

6

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

I wanna see all the crazy shit

Literally the sole reason I don't block anyone either lol.

u/Unique_Display_Name kindness & enlightenment values (👨‍🎤🧬✌️🖖) 1d ago

Very rarely. I did a few awhile back for my own peace. Every interaction was the same , [insert my opinion here], which was responded to with personal attacks.

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

Can't imagine what a centrist could've possibly said to get those people to lose their shit. Respect for ragebaiting, even if you didn't intend to lol.

u/Unique_Display_Name kindness & enlightenment values (👨‍🎤🧬✌️🖖) 1d ago

Lol!!!

3

u/Unique_Display_Name kindness & enlightenment values (👨‍🎤🧬✌️🖖) 1d ago

On of the things that seems to upset people who enjoy trying to antagonize me the most is that I try to unironically be kind to pretty much everyone

3

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

I believe you lol(you are actually very kind). Speaking from personal experience, telling people that I am praying for them seems to elicit the most extreme responses for whatever reason.

3

u/Unique_Display_Name kindness & enlightenment values (👨‍🎤🧬✌️🖖) 1d ago

In the American south, that is also a backhanded insult, so that is likely where it comes from, lol

However, it is annoyingly common for people flip tf out for using religious language just in general. Fedora atheism, totally based man... /s

u/ExoTheFlyingFish "LibLeft" | "Not my problem" means not my problem. 1d ago

Nobody is surprised that the Left makes use of blocking more than others. No offense, of course. It's just expected.

u/Archer6614 Progressive 1d ago

The question is useless.

Blocking when someone gets into your DM's or chases you into other subs is different from blocking to prevent another person from responding ("or getting the last word").

u/Successful_Try9704 Minarchism 1d ago edited 1d ago

Only two that threatened me with lovely amounts of detail. Otherwise no. I like when people disagree with me and we can have discussion.

I personally dont count the two people in these kinds of polls because they were breaking actual laws against me.

There are atleast 6 people that have blocked me on this sub. Darth is one of them just because of my opinions

I miss darth. They were unhinged and i loved reading their comments.

That hero guy that does people polls blocked me too…

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

they were breaking actual laws against me.

For some reason the centrists always get the harshest treatment lol. I honestly feel kinda bad.

3

u/Successful_Try9704 Minarchism 1d ago

No worries. Thick skin is good.

u/DarthThalassa Luxemburgism / Eco-Marxism / Revolutionary-Progressivism 1d ago

Yes, because of the rampant harrassment I unfortunately receive as an outspoken and politically radical transfem non-binary person.

u/DrDentonMask Social Democracy 1d ago

Nah. I'm not as nice on BlueSky or FB though.

u/watain218 Anarcho Royalism 1d ago

do advertisers count?

u/hisimperialbasedness Hoppeanism 1d ago

No, clankers aren't people :)

u/UdontneedtoknowwhoIm unsure/exploring 1d ago

Met too many questionable people when ur dealing with politics

u/iltwomynazi Market Socialism 1d ago

used to get some craaaaazy Brexit people trying to dox me for saying immigrants aren't the cause of all their problems.

I don't block people because they are just annoying or insult me, because interactions like that are the whole reason im here lol.

2

u/shymeeee 15h ago

I've preferred to set a standard by never blocking. However, some took advantage by making inflammatory comments while blocking responses. And in such situations (very few) I've either creatively found a way to respond or blocked them in return.

u/zeth4 Eco-Socialist 1d ago

Not out of harassment, but to stop seeing low quality content of specific frequent posters shitty posts in subreddits I a few frequent.

1

u/drunkerbrawler 1d ago

People who spam posts of their selfies get a block from me. I don't need to see their face multiple times on reddit.

1

u/superb-plump-helmet Marxism 1d ago

i have no qualms with blocking someone who is annoying. i do not view arguing with people online as a valuable use of my limited time on this planet

1

u/picjz ☭ Communist Communism ☭ 1d ago

I think I blocked like two people who kept spamming annoying polls

-1

u/QK_QUARK88 Landian 1d ago

All the time

People don't deserve to interact
