I try to give the most grace possible. I’ve only ever blocked two users here. That said, I’d totally understand why someone might block me.

        The left lemmy vibe is very-much bipolar.

        You could post identical comments 10 minutes apart and one could be downvoted to oblivion whilst the other is top comment.

      I do that too, but also if you enable tracking votes (I’m using Voyager) then you basically are tasking positive and negative encounters and you get an idea what a thread will be like just by looking. Example, you and OP appear to be nice peeps:

      Tankie and Energy Vampire are my two go to tags. I only block spammers or anything horrific like the couple times some assholes did CSAM attacks.

      Yup, once I figured out I could tag users I started doing that instead. Much better to be prepared than to just choose blindness.

      Generally I’m a bit more specific though.
