My block list in a nutshell:

  In my case it’s nazis and people posting ai slop.

  Is this a direct quote? I haven’t re-watched for a long time.

  Ambassadors of unhappy? You mean redditors?

  I've found it's easiest to add an appropriate emoji note to their profile. That way, I can still upvote any memes etc of theirs I enjoy while ignoring their comments etc.

  My hot take: blocking other users does almost no good, because everybody else still sees the shit they’re spewing. I don’t want to cover my eyes to ignore problems; I want to work towards fixing them, and in this context that means either rebutting the offending comments or reporting them so the mods remove them for everyone, not just me.

  I’ll block anybody for any reason. But most of the time it’s for demonstrating the wit of a nit.

  I don’t need people to make me feel happy, I just need people to be able to discuss things like a reasonably intelligent human being.

  Who asks? Can anyone even see your banned list?

    Nothing says “I love the values of Star Trek” like shutting out anyone who thinks differently than you.

      I think it’s important to consider other points of view thoughtfully, and question your base assumptions. Sometimes, constructive and argumentative discussion can help with that, assuming both parties are informed and respectful.

      Now, how often have you seen a disagreement in the comments section where both parties are informed, respectful, and working constructively to really understand the underlying issues?

      Sometimes, it’s best to just walk away, and blocklists are an excellent way to do so.

      You some champion of missing the point?

      Life isn’t an endless grind or a thing to be beaten. If I think something’s annoying I’ll disappear it from my feed.

      I’m not obligated to waste my limited time on earth with frustrating and ultimately irrelevant strangers on the internet.

      They had that whole Neutral Zone to keep the Romulan/.world/.ml/your-least-favorite-instance people at bay that didn’t share those lofty values. Those values also included letting civilizations be wiped out if they hadn’t made it to space fast enough.

      Sometimes you get the Tamarians, sometimes you get the Pakled, and sometimes you get the Borg.
