I agree. It sucks because people will react on their emotions and block someone immediately than listen to another opinion. It makes it much easier to create an echo chamber.

And what is to say that person KEEPS commenting and doesn't realize he was blocked. /u/magnora7

I'm sorry but I don't like the unlimited blocking feature. In fact I think their should be a max amount of blocks. particularly reserved to those who are spamming you.

You might disagree but saidit is designed as a free speech hub. Even if someone writes a well thought out argument that person can simply block him on emotion rather than debunking him.

Again, unlimted blocking is bad in my honest opinion. There should be a max amount.

In real life, you can WALK AWAY FROM WHAT SOMEONE IS SAYING TO YOU. You do not HAVE TO LISTEN to them but thay doesn't mean you can tape their mouth up and have them cease to exist. They will speak up, and if that person ignores them, so be it!!!

Which is exactly why I think you need to integrate a max amount of blocks, reserved to those that ACTUALLY COMMENT TO you and how much they comment to you in a given day, or something like that.

That would make it so that the person would not be able to rely on his emotions and block the person immediately for saying some he doesn't agree with.
