One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I’ve ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?

Also, is that how blocking works? I know that I won’t see posts from someone I’ve blocked but does it also stop them from seeing/interacting with my content?

    Personally I’m not a fan of this approach because you don’t really believe what you’re saying to them, it’s more just being passive-aggressive/sarcastic.

    My preferred approach is to try to understand someone’s position and trying to wrap my head around the fundamental disagreement between us. That’s assuming of course that I’m in the right headspace; I’m not immune to getting caught up in online toxicity.

        the recipient of the message interprets it in a loving way because it’s probably exactly what they need to hear that no one ever tells them.

        Do you have any proof of this or is it just something you want to believe is true? Because honestly I find it hard to believe.

          Yes I’ve been that person before. And I’ve ended internet arguments with it from the other end as well. I’ve seen it work. And I’ve felt it work.

          granted it’s not always successful, and if you hate it so much then it probably won’t work coming from either end for you, so whatever.
