Possibly Unpopular Opinion: I do not use the block button on saidit unless it's a last resort. Like, repeated direct personal attack level, as happened from one of the mods of one of the larger subs on here. I have no opinion on the mute sub button (I was already banned from the sub in question when said mod stalked me over a 'I banged your mom' level of joke taken too literally). That community was toxic enough in general that I have no interest in going back.

I'm on saidit because I want to know what saidit thinks as a whole and blocking people willy-nilly defeats that purpose. I encourage others to post in subs they might otherwise not, so long as they give it a fair shot and observe the pyramid of debate. Again being trigger happy over everyone blocking everyone else kinda defeats the purpose. Like that popper guy who cried that I might be a bot, as if anyone's programming skills could generate this level of communication (well beyond the Turing Test).

Now on Reddit (yes I'm just as shocked as any of you that I'm not banned there yet), I do use the block button more readily. It's large and the site wide mods ban wrongthinkers like me without a second thought so it's best not to roll too long with the pigs. The last one was for a woman who admitted to abusing her daughter. I have no tolerance for hurting or disadvantaging children.
