If they blocked you, evidently you didn’t clear the bar for them, and even if it was some completely lunatic reason - you have to respect their right to not talk to you, however lunatic it looks for you.

Now, if their blocklists were popular - either they weren’t lunatics or there was a crowd of lunatics. Now, why would you worry about not talking with a crowd of lunatics ?

But, regardless - again - nobody is entitled to an interaction with those that don’t want it, directly or by proxy.

Baffles me, why is it so hard to understand this ?

People can do whatever they want. I simply observed that this is a toxic practice that reinforces my decision to stay away from the platform. Entitlement has nothing to do with it, and I don’t appreciate the implication of your statement.

(You do know that blocking removes the ability to view posts, not just interact with them, right?)
