I feel like it’s useful to have choices here. Like a “<-- you said this guy sucks” label separate from “hide” (placeholders), “ignore” (no placeholder when 0 replies) and “block” (no placeholder at all).
On piefed I use emojis to tag dumbasses to remind myself not to engage with their stupidity instead of blocking most of the time. That way I can skim their bullshit and still get to see the rest of the comment chain.
Also a few of the worst posters start quality posts and are just morons in the comments, so that way I still get to see their posts.
For example, this is my reminder that this user is a dumbshit:
I do have quite a few people on the block list too, if their behavior approaches the level of harassment or they are so completely terrible that they aren’t even worth laughing at.
