“wow you blocked me just cuz i disagreed with you???”
yes. yes, exactly. this is a social media site. i come here to look at pictures of birds and shitpost with my friends. this is not a town hall meeting; i am not your elected official. i do not owe you my energy, my space, or my time. you and i are strangers that use the same website. i can block you for literally any reason and that’s okay. take a deep breath. block me too. you’ll feel better.
normalise low blocking thresholds… blocking someone arguing with you is not weak or over-reacting or whatever.
You don’t owe anyone access to your posts or your ask box.
Blocking features are built into the site. Use them liberally to make your Tumblr experience as enjoyable as possible.
I’ve probably reblogged this already but wow I love blocking. I love seeing someone engage in bullying behavior on someone else’s post and thinking “huh, don’t want this one anywhere near me”. If people who have never interacted with me wonder why they’re blocked, it’s because they’ve been a bitch somewhere and I happened to see it. You don’t have to have been a bitch to me personally for me to know I don’t want you anywhere near me.
Freedom of speech is also freedom to not want to hear someone’s shitty opinion on your blog or in the tags.
