Every time I make a post people comment about how I’m “known” and keep telling me to “stop trolling” or whatever, but here’s the thing: everyone complaining about me has the option to block me and never see my posts, but for some reason you don’t? It’s the same with Reddit, honestly.

If I don’t like someone, I will block them because I truly don’t care about you or anyone enough to engage with them.

A 22-year-old named Cole Schmidtknecht died because the price of his inhaler went from $66 to $539: he only had enough money for rent or the inhaler, so he chose rent over his medicine.

Do I care about him? Nope, not at all. I was tired of seeing the story, so I blocked it on Reddit and Instagram because I don’t feel empathy, sympathy or care enough about this person to truly give a fuck… Honestly, if he was dying on the ground and he asked me to get his inhaler that’s next to my shoe, I would just leave or kick it further away from him.

And feel no remorse about it at all.

So complaining about me has the option to block me and never see my posts.

    You sound like what a twelve year old imagines sociopaths are.

      That would work on Reddit. OP could be like me and hide the numbers entirely. I see the arrows. I don’t see the net vote weight or any vote counts. I also sort comments by new, so lowly voted comments are literally not affected in any way.

      The only real benefit to mass downvoting someone is when someone makes a comment about how much it’s been downvoted. But that information would just age like milk, possibly even becoming untrue after a while (e.g. the Internet loves an underdog).

      On Lemmy, a site that gives a user like OP the ability to not be affected by your disdain, the best use of your energy is just to block.

    You’re just going out of your way to tell us what a terrible person you are. I find it fascinating.

    You honestly think it’s normal or morally acceptable to deprive a dying person of medicine when it wouldn’t be any trouble to give it to him? I think there are some jurisdictions where you could be charged with murder for kicking his inhaler away from him if being without it caused his death.

    Thank you for the pre-emptive announcement to block you. It looks well founded and I will take the advice.

    Always sad to see when a troll starts biting material for their next post off someone’s comment on their previous one.

    Is the inspiration well running a bit dry today?

    OP we need people like you.

    I am being totally serious. Trolls are key to getting people posting. I say that with all sincerity and admiration.

    KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO.

    Many around here aren’t going to like that….

      Skim Grimmy’s post history when you’re bored some time. It’s a ride and a half and I wouldn’t want to miss him.

    But if of we block you and not see your junk posts to downvote that would put you in an echo chamber. Those are horrible things.
