[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 9219981, member: 57112"] As a person for whom the internet is a legitimately dangerous place at times, I have found two-way blocking to be a safety measure. I still use Twitter, for instance; I've found a solid community there. But if they got rid of two-way blocking (as Elon threatened to do a while back) I would be gone in an instant and I would never look back. Of course, that's much less of a concern here. Not a non-existent concern, but certainly a minimal one. I've recently gone on a purge of my block list and with only a few individuals have I actively regretted it and reversed course. Most of the things that would trigger a block from me would get a person disinvited from the boards. Anti-inclusivity stuff, mostly. Of course, the handful of sealions who know well enough to keep under the radar without earning the ire of the mods while also making their positions on such things crystal clear have earned their spot on my ignore list, and I will not be losing any sleep about their inability to see pretty much anything I post. "If you can't hate yourself most of all what's even the point of hatred?" - Mama Snarf, presumably. I think it's definitely a good idea to be able to take a break from things when emotions flare. I try to do that less because I don't go back to curate my list particularly often, but it's advice I should probably follow more often than I do. And like you say, it doesn't need to be permanent at all. How many times have you blocked me over the years? [/QUOTE]
