I think filters are better than blocks because someone who posts the same old tired pseudonazi shit all the time may at one point have an interesting or insightful thing to say that's unrelated to that. Of course I think we can use RES here which would allow that functionality but to have it natively in the site would be great. Bloody 4chan has it, I can filter out all the tranny porn from /gif/ and it works just fine there. Why not use it here to get rid of the nazi shit if you're not interested in it?

I don't have time for second chances or second impressions. I block more on gab than I have any platform.

I'd rather personally block a thousand people than have one 'blocked' for me though. Ostracism WAS an important part of society until we fucked it all up with thought policing.

Edit: new phone, overbearing autocorrect

Exactly. I don't want any centralized authority to decide what is acceptable, we can make those decisions as individuals.

Another post suggested optional moderation. I prefer that over both of these ideas.
