Probably, but this one seems to be righter

Are you sure you linked the right xkcd?

Doesn’t work on lemmy.

The issue with blocking, if it prevents the blocked party from seeing posts/comments, is it can and will be used to shape public opinion. Somebody did an experiment on Reddit some time back and showed that after a few rounds of blocking all naysayers, they could post pretty much anything and have it upvoted because all people who disagreed couldn’t see the content. An echo chamber, essentially. Combine that with mod powers and it’s ripe for abuse.

I DON’T OWE YOU AN AUDIENCE FOR YOUR ANNOYING BULLSHIT

Would have thought it was an obvious play on the headline, but I accept that sheer stupidity does exist.

The irony of THIS comic is, you could apply that argument to every single opinion in existence.

As the OP mentioned, this is the 1st time they posted this artist. If there was a single dedicated account posting PC comics, that would work, but not in this context.

… c/whoosh?

It was a false positive.

Edit: I can’t believe this needed a /s

Especially problematic if used by a comm owner - they outright become a mini admin in their comm.

It does.

I wish that too, but I understand why it isn’t. Opens the blocking mechanism up to abuse.

There is a difference between criticism and bullying. Given that the complaints I’ve seen here are all entirely justified and true, calling it ‘bullying’ is pretty ridiculous.

It’s not like the community here shits on all artists regularly, it’s just the one.
