I took an extended break from Lemmy but since I came back I’m noticing a lot more people announcing when they block other people. Can I ask why you felt the need to let everyone know you were blocking this person and/or what other social media you’ve used in the past? Like is this a twitter thing I don’t understand?
I have always done that to people who are unfriendly towards me. It also gives them a notice that I won’t be replying to their unfriendly behavior.
Never used Twitter/X so I have no idea how it is on there.
Though, I wonder why do I need to explain my reason for announcing to block someone but someone else being unfriendly or having a toxic behavior seems to be okay and is not questioned. What other social media have you used in the past?
I cut my teeth on Reddit, personally. A long, long time ago, I used a certain anonymous imageboard but I stopped when I finally realized that what were edgy jokes to me were actually pretty serious business to the worst kinds of people. When I block people I just… y’know, block them. They can scream at the void, it’s whatever. I don’t engage with trolls, because telling them off often encourages them. I’m not trying to antagonize you here, I was just curious because you’re the second or third person I’ve seen post a “get blocked loser” type of message in the past few hours.
What leads you to believe I’m the one being blocked? Anyone can read any message posted on here. Look, I ain’t trying to upset anyone. I was just curious. Have a nice day.
Your overall vibe, I’ve seen it too but only when someone realized they’ve been throwing their time in the bottomless pit of a disordered mind. Like a fedora on the side of a trashcan, it’s a sign someone took control of their life back.
Seems like you might be encountering it enough in response to your responses that it’s annoyed you. Otherwise I can’t imagine any other reaction than moving on with my life.

Huh, you might be a loser who keeps getting blocked then.
