One would imagine that, given the option, one could block the comm and move on with one's life silently.
Blocking something and then announcing it is just looking for sanctimonious validation so you can feel special and superior about your big powerful choice to not look at something you don't like. Like places such as r/justunsubbed.
I'm not implying that's what OP is doing btw. OP is doing a useful PSA.
That just sounds like some Facebook level "I'm better than you because I'm so in control of my emotions" stuff.
Why do people have such a hard on for making comms for fake news and renaming them so I have to keep blocking them?
I was on facebook the other day and someone actually said that to me. They said "I'm better than you because I'm so in control of my emotions." I said to myself, this is absolutely some facebook level stuff.
Why would one imagine that? People can share things they do without trying to feel superior. Getting so annoyed by a comm you have to block it is frustrating, and relating frustrating experiences with others is a good feeling and can be a good thing to do.
