Why Does Cody Block Everyone?
On Facebook, I block hostiles.
Have the reports been exaggerated? Nope.
I will block early and often. I might even block someone for clicking like on something, if it’s outrageous.
If you’re an opinionated person looking to connect strategically, you might consider doing something similar.
Why go so far?
Not everyone needs to block early and often. But if you’re using Facebook as a place to meet other culture warriors who can help you, a quick-block strategy gives some benefits.
- It saves you time.
- It saves frustration.
- It curates your friend-list so it will be a helpful resource for others.
Here’s a bit about my own thought-process:
All my writing and interacting online has a goal. I want to identify a small band of worthy brothers and sisters with unique skills and knowledge — and demonstrate to them that we need each other and can do great things together.
I use public discussions to sift through a large haystack and to find specific people to invest in (through other channels).
Given that goal, and also given my goal of hosting daily, constructive, enjoyable discussions online with specific kinds of people, I tend to block any who make themselves unpleasant.
Therefore…
If you ever get blocked, it likely means I found something unpleasant, hostile, unproductive, etc. in one of your comments.
Or you clicked like on something I found outrageous or unpleasant. (Here is an example of that sort of thing.)
The cost of this policy:
I sometimes turn people away without knowing a full picture of who they are. And sometimes that makes them unhappy.
The benefit:
You will find the most considerate, informed, rational group of people on the internet within my friends list.
My approach isn’t for everyone.
Perhaps you’re more tolerant. You may have good reasons for your own policy. I offer my policy not as the single right way, but as one right way.
When people challenge me about my choices and associations, I remind them that these are my choices, not theirs.
On this topic, I do what I want, Karen.
You should too.
A Call To Action:
It’s time to get in the game.
