Forget debating.
If I'm reading a comment chain of a debate, I sometimes block the chudier user cause I know I don't want to deal with them in any capacity.
That's how I found out that reddit blocklist has a limit. 😶

Also latecomers. I don't know why, but any replies to a comment that come in a couple days later are pretty much always dumb, extreme and rude. Block!

Damn, back in my day we didn't consider it necroing until like 6 months after last message...I miss proper forums.

This comment would have been way funnier if you posted it in 3 days

Ah the post mortem ad hominem..

Usually a pile on. Opportunists who only disparage you after they've already seen 10 others do that, and it's "safe" to do so now.

Also, given how blocking works on Lemmy, there's a bit of sadistic fun to it.
The people who think they're entitled to my time for their own entertainment just get to see that they're being ignored. Glorious.

This is another win because if someone is spreading misinformation I don't want to hear from them and I know they're probably unreachable anyhow. If they blocked me I can call out the misinformation without a flame war, from them anyhow.

Sorry if you wanted to debate me sometime and I just deleted my comment instead; I hope you will take this comic as an token of goodwill.
A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip · 3 pts · 20d
I've done that. Esp. once I realized that the subsequent answers to a deleted comment aren't well visible 😈

Sorry. Arguing is effort and I have a limited supply.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 20d
I don't have a limited supply people should just ping me and I'll argue against whoever

If only my dumb arse could learn from people like you. 😑

Honestly I feel like this has bothered me less since LLMs. I think to myself "Wait a second, this can't possibly be a person".

Me when I can't quote-reply somebody for thousands of words over the course of an entire day 🥺
