Blocking people online/apps

LadyMacBeth_

So, I'm curious about this. Do you regularly block people on social media like facebook, instagram, twitter etc or messaging apps like whatsapp, viber, snapchat, and if so, why? I was talking to a friend about this the other day and she said that she'd never done it, and I've only ever done it once myself but that's because I was receiving consistently abusive texts from someone I'd ended things with, so I didn't have a choice in the matter really. Other than that though, it's not something that would occur to me to do without a reason. If I don't think I'll talk to someone again then I might delete their number but I wouldn't block them from contacting me. I've had people tell me that friends regularly block them if they have a falling out or are in a sulk for some reason, I think that's a bit odd myself. Maybe it's something that younger people do? I can understand putting someone on ignore on boards because we're all strangers here and some people are just a pain in the arse :P I do have a couple of people on ignore but once again not something I'd do without a reason. Then again though, I don't use facebook much but wouldn't hesitate to hide someone's news feed if they were annoying.

I blocked a few spammers on Facebook over the years, mostly the ones who hijack groups I'm in with feckin ads. Forever Aloe, Scentsy, Juice Plus all get the block treatment.

Never blocked anyone, have deleted a few numbers cos reckon some I will never speak to again.

Some, it's a pity it came to it tbh, others I'm not bothered about!

I unfriend people who clutter up my feed with stuff that isn’t interesting to me, but I’ve only ever blocked a family member and her husband after a terrible row.
All sorted out now.

Don't use Facebook much, Snapchat is s pox, Twitter is silly, Instagram is just like Facebook only with just photos, and I can't be added with others. So, no.

It's funny; I used to use them a lot until I started using it in a professional environment

Once an eager Google+ promoter, I now regard the place as an utter hole. It has become the pits, so I left it. My point is that I was blocking other G+ users left, right and centre before I left. Musicians, artists and other notable Irish people have left g+ too.

Blocked a few annoying girls on fb for keep putting up silly ‘motivation’ posts or annoying vague posts clearly looking for attention and one or two who became jackasses to me and my friends

And one who I went to college with, went the 3rd wave feminist route by constantly whinging about ‘injustices’ she supposedly faced and she jumped on th ‘me too ‘ bandwagon (don’t want to get too specific but it was a stretch to fall under it) but knowing her she always cane off as a bit of a trend hopper

And blocked on fb a few ones who were gym heads who had 30 posts a day of their gym routine - what they are eating and linking dubious stuff

Facebook posts and status updates and likes and “please shares”.
I was lucky in thatcfrom the start I didn’t join in because I’m not a “joiner inner” by nature.
But I know of countless little spats, all among women, over Aoifes failure to like Chloe’s 78 pictures of the little angles taken today in MacDonalds at 5.30pm
Apparently Aoife is jealous of Chloes life cos she doesn’t have any angles.
Considering Aoife only just finished liking the 93 pictures taken the day before ofvthe angles eating big bag of sweeties while watching the LL Toy Show, that seems a bit unfair.

I block any "like this page and share to win something" page on Facebook that pops up on my feed because someone shared it. I've a feeling most of these are bogus and are just the companies looking for free advertisement. It was especially noticeable around the all Ireland hurling final where every second page for a grocery store/farm supplies/plumber..etc.. seemed to have 2 tickets to give away.

A load of frends still like +share everything off that Liberal pox. How can people be so thick?

Best thing you can do is put down the phone or laptop and have a look around.

Real life is happening, whatever bullshít that's online ends when you pull the plug on it.

I've blocked my brother on all social media for sending me links to American far right Christian based "Science" journals
