Either OP is a genius or a moron, or both
Granddaughter was the first one to get blocked!
Welcome to OP’s blocklist.
It’s honestly the best course of action for one’s mental health
The amount of assholes I’ve blocked in the last year has been staggering
The amount of those assholes who are relatives would shock most people
i had to real-life block my aunt and uncle. it was always something about how dumb liberals are and “you’ll understand when you’re older”. nah fuck you, i don’t need this shit in my life.
When I play online games I just mute everyone. Gaming is my relaxing time and I don’t feel like listening to people throwing around insults or being obnoxious. There is very little team strategy discussion in most games anyway.
As much as I love Lemmy, this platform would be unusable without the option to block astroturfers and bad faith actors.

I used to worry that it was a losing strategy, because if I don’t block them then they will have unfettered access to the new people of the Internet. But then I started to think it doesn’t matter, I’d rather have my own mental health.
Unfortunately lemmy is a lot less active when you ban afford Assholes, muck rakers, and people just looking for fights.
But that kind of activity is noise and pollution, it is better to talk less but with sane people
sane ppl are boring. fite me 😼
My block list lags my browser
A proper return to ‘Don’t Feed the Trolls’
