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 It can be a bit weird from the other side, too. I follow a few famous people, see quite a lot of their posts, and sometimes post a reply, without really expecting them to reply back. When I have had a reply, it's somehow a big thing that Famous Person replied to me, how do I deal with this, should I go and hide under a rock, or something?
@HollieK72 haha, I’ve had that too! It’s always discombobulating
