does anybody else get bothered by the dudebro ascetic mindset some people have about blocking

where "blocking" is "weak" and "not blocking" is "strong" or "tough"

this has kept me from enormous amounts of self-care in the past, along with the "blocking punishes the blocked person" mindset

neither of these things is true

I just don't need certain kinds of bullshit on my stream and some people I want as much insulation from as possible

whatever I miss isn't, FOR ME, worth the bullshit, s'all

@sydneyfalk blocking is smart. Not blocking is stupid.
