Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play.

It's really crazy how internet regressed in this regard. "Don't feed the troll" is been the moto of the web but not it's almost inverse. People try to justify this as justice seeking but its clearly doesn't work.

It's because of engagement algorithms, partially. Unlike 'dumb' forums/boards, the bulk of the modern internet heavily rewards trolling (and engaging with trolls) in every form.

That, and very little community moderation.

I’ll block anybody I see posting ai crap regularly. I want to see as little of that garbage as possible.

Man all get comics these days seem to be mostly about people bothering her online. I get the desire to vent that frustration but it's been a while since I've seen anything else.

I gotta admit, I can't stand content I can't engage with. What's the point? It's just grandstanding and blowharding.

I really dislike this person's comics for some reason

I don't block people. It's better to downvote them.

What is incredibly toxic is insulting someone and then blocking them, so they can't defend themselves.

People who complain about being blocked really are the worst.

I block the losers posting AI slop. Can't force me to look at that trash.

Generally, here there's less annoying people, and I'm less likely to see a dipshit again, so I don't block much.

On tumblr and mastodon? Anyone who's slightly annoying gets blocked.

edit: seeing some of the comments here has me rethinking this.
