minus-square@Konstant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoI don’t think this is a good feature. If you’re going to ignore someone, own up to it and let them know, don’t let them in the dark
minus-squareBalderlinkfedilinkEnglish14•1 month agoThat is assuming the other person is interacting in good faith. If there’s one thing the internet is full is trolls.
minus-square@prettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish12•1 month agoYes, that’s a healthy way to handle normal interactions. However if you are being harassed by someone you don’t want to interact with them. Often times blocking informs the other user which has been shown to just make people resort to other means. There is practical application of not responding being better in some situations. In normal human interaction, be good to each other. Ghosting is awful. I don’t think this is intended for ghosting people though.
minus-square@Feathercrown@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoPeople will use it for ghosting unfortunately
minus-square@prettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 month agoThat’s fine. Those people suck and you didn’t lose anything.
