  • This.

    Seriously, people, start filtering out who gets to tell you shit.

    Of course, don’t overdo it and create an echo chamber for yourself, block the extremes, but don’t block basic disagreement.

    I started doing this years ago, primarily on Twitch.

    I despise copy pastas and edgelord comments, it’s why I generally watch streamers that have a relatively chill and small audience.

    But I do go into Kripps chat simply to fill up my block list with people that relentlessly spam chats with copy pastas and other similar sorts of comments.

    Later I started being a bit more gung-ho doing the same on all platforms and it made all types of social media oh so much better.

    You’ll quickly notice that a lot of the comments that put your teeth on edge came from the same few loud and obnoxious people, because once you start blocking people like that, after just 10-20 of them, the comments you see are already far more palatable.



  • Intent is everything and if someone is clearly not using a word with the intent to offend you, you being offended is a YOU problem, not a them problem.

    And before you go say shit like able people can’t know how bad it feels.

    1, I’m not “abled”.
    2. I’ve had people call me these words meaning to offend and hurt me. THAT actually does hurt. These words being used without any intention to hurt or offend anyone, doesn’t matter to me at all.

    And sometimes, using those words to offend is perfectly appropriate to express what you want to convey.

    Like how many Americans have absolutely retarded levels of overblown reactions with a word like cunt.
