    What happened to just blocking someone? Do other platforms not have filters? Iirc reddit and others had some stuff. Blocking was/is(?) still a thing.

      The problem with blocking someone is that other people can still see what that person says.

      Censorship is only effective if you can stop other people from seeing the information.

      It’s not good enough that a user can hide what other people are saying for themselves; they need to be able to hide it for everyone else.

      That’s why you see such a crusade by a certain community to ban anyone who disagrees with their agenda. They don’t want people sharing ideas that go against their beliefs.

      Nextdoor is an absolute black hole social media site, it absorbs the worst of humanity so we don’t have to see them anywhere else.
