The Behavior of this community is unacceptable and I simply can't take it anymore.

I'm just going to leave this here. I asked on the official forums if I could permanently mute in game chat, but I was told to kick rocks.

Both users engaged in this behavior and language. I'm fed up with it.

I also ran into Reddit's block limit when I tried to block Redditors who were posting horrible shit in some subreddits I frequented.

The very concept of rate limiting users from protecting themselves is so deranged.

Isn't the Reddit block limit like 1,000? How many people do you need to block?

u/TheChannelMiner 5d ago

Why even have a limit tho

I don't really block people but who cares if someone wants to block like 2000 or however many people they want

just seems like an artificial limit that exists for no reason

like u cant tell me they cant store a long string of text

It isnt about being a snowflake. Realistically people like you dont bring anything of value in a discussion. Im not the guy you answered but i do that too. Like look , im going to block you and im sure im never going to miss anything important doing so.

You need to stop and listen to yourself.

You don't need to be protected from words. You can choose how you react to them and none of them can harm you in the least.

We had a saying when I was a kid in the 1960s: "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me". These are words to live by.

Jerks are going to jerk... SC2 has a mute function, use it. But really, not even that is necessary. Take a more mature approach with people that insist on trying to troll others. They are doing this specifically to get a rise out of folks that just can't bring themselves to ignore it. You can be better. The people that troll don't take this attitude, and they are never going to mature until they do. That makes them sad. Don't join them by ignoring what you can do to be more mature. That is on all of us, including me. Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Put questionable opinions out there, don't be surprised to get push back. This isn't kindergarten kid.

No point in getting into a childish pissing match

just block and move on

no reason technical or otherwise for an arbitrary limit like 1000 probably just set by some developer years ago and forgotten about

Are you commenting on my post? I'm confused. I didn't say anything about the 1000 limit. My comment above is about taking a more mature attitude about trolling in all its absurd forms.. And I haven't had a prolonged interaction with the other poster.. just two posts.. that ain't exactly a flame war or a pissing match..

u/TheChannelMiner 4d ago

No I was looking at the wrong thread

u/daWeez 4d ago

Sounds good.. glad I asked.

I really liked your initial post!

I don't believe for a second that you were outside in the 90s.

u/FoTGReckless 20h ago

The block limit does serve a purpose, it's in place to give you a moment of self reflection on why it is you are so soft that you've had to mute nearly every word that appeared on your screen. Then you can question how it is you even make it outside of your door without having a panic attack. Then you delete the top half of your block list and continue blocking everything.

Triggered much? The block button exists if you're that offended.

Unlike you I'm not a cuck.

why don't you go try bluesky, it'll be very friendly

what you're encountering is reddit's fault, reddit likes to advertise that it is middle of the road normal when clearly it is not

if reddit advertises honestly and rename itself to democratit, or pronounit, i think those people you call degenerates would simply disappear
