#tl;dr I don't hate you just bc I blocked. I guarantee it's not that deep; I just like keeping my space Curated

I block all the time. I mean, I have like 99% of personals in the turo and sada tags blocked because they fail to grasp even the most basic aspects of their characters, and I don't want to read their bad takes

I block if there's an untagged thread that's upsetting to read and I don't want to risk seeing it again in future. you have the right to write whatever you want, and so rather than make it all about me and my feelings, I just quietly scoot it off my dashboard

I block if I don't see us interacting. maybe the character's gone in a new direction and I don't want/know how to involve myself in that. maybe you're cutting back on threads and who you're willing to write with, and I decide to jump ship before I'm pushed

I block based on vibes. maybe I'm having a Bad Day and I can feel myself getting into that irrational brain territory. I don't want to feed into that, and so I block for the sake of us both. in these cases, I usually come back once I've gotten out from under that dark cloud

sometimes there's a ship I find annoying. sometimes we've never spoken and my intimidation gets the better of me. sometimes there's a rule update I don't like, so rather than be a dick and break it I just leave. sometimes I look at my follower count, think "I'd be happier if that was lower" and trim it down

it's not a judgement on you as a person
