    I’m a masochist. I don’t block them.

    Because their arguments are really easy to dismantle, even if they’re too fucking stupid to understand that.

    The problem is once you do that, you start getting replies from accounts that have sat inactive for months and lots of your comments get multiple down votes immediately.

    They really don’t see how they act just as badly as Trump voters, do they? Is it “the ends justify the means” or are they just stupid or are they paid to act this stupid? It’s not like Correct the Record ever went away and it’s still totally legal to hire masses of people to post paid political speech online in the US, because nobody is making laws to make these people have to admit they’re being paid, kind of like advertisements have to. No, they flood the zone with this bullshit just as badly as the right-wing does and then cry big fat loser baby tears when it doesn’t work out.

      Blocking doesn’t really work on Lemmy like it does on other platforms. You can mute people but it doesn’t limit them from interacting with you.
