Have you ever blocked a person on social media? If so why? And why is it your choice to block without providing an explanation?

Lol, absolutely.

There was a time, where this bogus article was around - about foreign men getting paid to marry Icelandic women because there was a shortage of men. I got a lot of middle Eastern and Indian men messaging me on social media. I don't think that needs explanation.

Then I've blocked an uncle - he's a neo nazi, I've blocked my abuser after he contacted me. Now I rarely use social media so I just ignore people.

Plenty of times.

If they’re being creepy, if we’re not friends anymore, if I don’t want them to contact me, and if I don’t want them to see anything I post.

I don’t owe anyone an explanation for blocking them, lol. If I’m blocking them I’m blocking them for a reason and it’s my right to block someone for whatever reason I want.

Now I don't. And I didn't before GaG. I did to two people when I first got on GaG because I didn't like how they responded to people. But then I realized that was childish of me and I unblocked them.

I will block people who don't leave me alone with sex stuff. Or scammers... I've had a few of those. Otherwise I don't block.

I have, but only rarely to people who were being obnoxious. I do not feel a need to explain to a horse's derriere why I blocked him. I also drop the block within a week. Maybe he was having a bad day, or the issue triggered him.

I usually never block but I did block this one guy I didn't really know because he told me he drove 4 hours to my city and wanted to meet up... and kept calling my cellphone... because I added him on whatsapp but I only talked to him one day... very creepy LOL

I block people on this site mainly because theyre being weird, pervy, disgusting, etc

On another social media that i have like twitter and instagram, never. Just a simple unfollow (if theyre being extremely toxic, this is both for insta&twt) and if not, just a click for “restrict account” or “hide” them from viewing my posts on instagram.

On gag if you block people there is an options not to see their comments. I block for this reason, I don't need to read their toxic comments over and over again.

I told the person I blocked why I was blocking them before I did it

[Guardian45]

I have blocked people on social media, because they deserved it.

My choice to block without providing an explanation was my justified right.

[Ms_Facesitter]
