I don’t particularly care about the downvoting, but I do prefer bidirectional blocking when possible. Obviously a public profile is still visible, but if someone blocked had to make a new account to interact with you, that’d be nice.

That’s just a preference. Whatever the consensus is, I’ll be fine with it. The most important thing is that it’s clear and known how it works. Someone with a stalker should quickly be able to get how things work to decide if they want to be on here.

I’m not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.

This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I’d see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it’s relevant to my uncle’s illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there’s no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I’ll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.

It’s none of my business what you post.

Thank you

I have a relative with the same cancer so it’s going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he’s in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.

Trump won the 2024 election on the promise of “the largest deportation operation in American history”, but few anticipated a crackdown on documented immigrants, including visa and green card holders and citizens who have the status by birth or naturalisation, or tourists.

Plenty of people anticipated this. Who’s easier to deport when you want to get rid of a big number quickly? Someone living under the radar? Or someone who’s right on file and complies with orders to come in? And if there’s no due process, you can say they committed any crime you want to justify it. It’s not like morality or honesty would stop anyone involved in the process.
