Do not have substantial discussions on an app. Move towards a first date immediately and if they don’t respond they weren’t real anyway. There are a few types on these things, bots, ego matches, scared or ego chatters, real daters… Real daters understand a match means a date in the real world and will actively engage in making that happen… Everything else is just noise to throw away.

I’ve become massively hardened to online discourse. I don’t need to block users when I can just ignore and not need to get the last word in. I know this is an incredibly rare ability, but I just wanted to entertain the idea here that there are alternatives.

The exception could be for discoverability. If garbage trolling spam overwhelms your front page, then it’ll be too time consuming to wade through it… So blocking entire communities makes a lot of sense in this case.

This is one of the only issues I have with the show… Homelander’s leash appears to be super hamfisted in, or in general it makes little sense why corporate has so much control with so little relative power. Lots of people in that world have powers, and it would be total anarchic chaos in reality.
