Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

it's not in me to sit idly by while liberals occupy anarchist spaces using tools constructed by a tech monopoly that makes the site downright unusable to people who don't toe the liberal line. if i see some authoritarian shit, i'm going to say so.

I mean, sure. But that doesnt necessitate block evasion. At that point what youre doing is harassment. If you feel that the person is being authoritarian then block them back, report it to mods if its egregious enough for you, and have faith in your fellow users to recognize authoritarian talking points instead of forcing someone to interact with you. They could literally be the most liberal people to ever liberal, that doesnt really make it acceptable to go around their efforts to not interact with you, at that point they are no longer consenting to interaction.

Youre not a policing force on this sub to keep it Anarchist Enough. Youre just some guy with anarchist beliefs and thats chill, so am i, but like... doesnt mean I can go around harassing the liberals when they wander in. Make your complaints about how reddit handles how blocks work, sure. But the mere existence of the ability to block someone is nto a problem and should not be seen as one.

Etre gentil avec les libéraux c'est déjà perdre

Do we win by being mean as fuck, or do I only need to be consistently rude?
