The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    Blocking is so easy, though, and so freeing. When I learned to embrace blocking this became a far more chill place.

      Yeah, I understand that, but I kind of enjoy some lively discussions. Plus I want to avoid creating my own echo chamber.

        If Lemmy were my entire window to the world, I’d be worried about an echo chamber. It’s not though, so I keep it as a safe place. I don’t owe anyone my attention just because they have feels about something I say or we comment on the same boards.

        Just a counterpoint. Your way is perfectly valid.

      It’s not implemented very well and it essentially punishes you for blocking people and distorts your view of things that don’t necessarily even have to do with that person. The feature barely checks the box and isn’t good enough if its actually important. But of course no one should be doing important things here.
