Sometimes I wonder if I should carry on blocking people when they do weird or rude replies in the comments, like I get that there’s a parasocial element to this, people feel like we’re friends and decide to respond as they would to a close friend, but often I only know them from maybe two or three replies to a couple of posts, so it’s incredibly one sides and it weirds me out.
Think I’d be a lot more popular if I could just ignore it
@BethanyBlack I've got a hard rule that if Facebook shows me a comment from a friend on a post in a group I'm not a member of I will block the group. I've definitely blocked groups with interesting content as a result, and think about changing this rule sometimes. But for me it's easier to just have the rule and always follow it than to have to make a situational decision every time.
@ReverendMoose yes! I’m exactly the same
