I’d argue that blocking people, even over petty disagreements isn’t exactly wrong. I am a strong believer in curating one’s own experience, which is generally the consensus on platforms such as Tumblr; and arguably the biggest strength of strong tagging systems.
With this particular post, I don’t know if I’d say it’s ‘power tripping’ per se, but more of an unfortunate byproduct of a particular user’s outsized presence.

videos ain’t that the truth
Yeah, that’s true. Thinking about it more ‘just block them’ only really works if they aren’t most of the platform. I make most of my posts to encourage discussion, and I don’t see repost bots doing much to that end.
I promise 🙏 forgive me?
Oh yeah, no, that shouldn’t happen.
sorry, my page reloaded while editing and I assumed it hadn’t sent.
Does blocking not work? I’m not the biggest fan of repost bots myself, but they exist for a specific purpose (however tenuous their ability to achieve it may be.)

What did Ghengis Khan ever do to you? Actually, nevermind.
I’ve always struggled while drafting how to reduce email fingerprinting. I know so few reliable alias providers, and many of those end up on blocklists. I’ve been considering a layered approach with a domain tied to my real life identity, and aliases for things not tied into my real self, but I’m not sure how to solve things satisfactorily.
Convenient solutions are the best.
I didn’t know that kind of jewellery was called ‘wire weaving’, TIL. I love the detail on them.
Looks nice, I wish you luck with your gardening endeavors :)
That’s a brilliant solution, I had never even considered anything along those lines. Sounds like you’ve really helped some people out - I’m absolutely saving this template for later use.
The level of attention to detail 3D artists can wind up creating is absolutely breathtaking, and seeing the end result here? Gorgeous. Thank you for your contribution :)
I, for one, am actually glad when I see people promoting their businesses a little on here. Too often out in the world you’ll just find astroturfed, mass-manufactured things that come from the same 12 factory floors. We should enjoys sharing our work with our community for as long as they don’t.
It was originally two, but the left and right keys wanted some space.
Completely fair, I made this post assuming that ‘anyone on fediverse social forums obviously knows what PeerTube is,’ thanks for pointing out the flaw in my unconscious biases, I’ll keep it in mind if I make more posts like this.
Essentially, PeerTube is to YouTube what Lemmy is to Reddit, a network of video streaming websites where the content of each website is, in theory, accessible through other instances in the network. I made this post in an effort to identify common reasons people who try PeerTube can’t stick around.
