One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I’ve ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?

Also, is that how blocking works? I know that I won’t see posts from someone I’ve blocked but does it also stop them from seeing/interacting with my content?

      try this instead. When someone insults you or says something to make you angry, reply with something sickeningly sweet and loving. Trust me. It’s a powerful weapon. kill them with kindness.

      Use any of these:

      I love you ❤️

      You are loved.

      Have a blissful day.

      More often than not it has the effect of silencing them because it neutralizes their vitriol like pouring water on a fire.

        Personally I’m not a fan of this approach because you don’t really believe what you’re saying to them, it’s more just being passive-aggressive/sarcastic.

        My preferred approach is to try to understand someone’s position and trying to wrap my head around the fundamental disagreement between us. That’s assuming of course that I’m in the right headspace; I’m not immune to getting caught up in online toxicity.
