cause the biggest issue with this site in particular is, when someone gets blocked off of a thread, then their replies are instantly deleted from the perspective of everybody else on the site
I've seen it weaponized before! including by someone who was literally sexually assaulting people on here
there's a bunch of people on here who've outright said that it's "good" that blocking works that way without recognizing that they're advocating for something that is profoundly harmful, because they're naive enough to believe that the only people who could ever be blocked are retarded conservatives
I’m convinced though, and have plenty of evidence from watching others, that I (meaning cis white guy who presents hella hetero) get WAY less toxic commentary than most
Watching you go through the stuff you go through has been an education for me, and I am grateful that you have the strength and honesty to do what you do.
It has helped me be gentler with myself and my own (different) failings and also to be more understanding of others.
yup, I just assume I said something that didn't jive with them, whether that's what I meant or not. Can't control them. They don't need to hear the things I say and I can probably survive without hearing from them lol

I looked the other day and I’ve been blocked by like four hundred people! I was like boooo what did I do
Then I remembered I’m a crazy person and it made sense
