thats an interesting example and i do appreciate it.

but unless you regularly block users bc you dont like what they said, then i didnt really mean you :) i could have been more clear with my original comment that i exclusively meant both those things, but i didnt think to at the time.

id report and block someone using slurs, but ive never seen that on lemmy.

the op of this post blocked me for my comment. i didnt use any slurs.

What’s the arbitrary line between avoiding people who use slurs vs people who annoy you and make your online experience worse?

I think it’s mega presumptuous to judge what other people should tolerate online.

That’s exactly my point though. Neither you nor I know how much your comment annoyed him. Only he gets to decide how much of a thing he should tolerate online.

I have NSFW content filtered but I still block the anime feed and Church of Thighentology comms because they aren’t NSFW but I still don’t want to see sexualized anime images in my feed.

I block communities related to leather and eating animal flesh because I’m not really interested in seeing dead bodies.

Am I being goofy? Do I only get to explore what’s new in the fedverse if I view sexualized or distressing material?
