I'm sometimes surprised at the number of people who feel the need to block me.
It's like.... If you feel the need to block some middle of the road Canadian maybe public discourse isn't for you. Maybe you should go journal instead.
(But hey, my blocklist is still empty)

On Lemmy there uses to be a server called wolfballs. Now I understand why some people would block wolfballs back then, it was in some ways highly partisan leaning heavily right... It had lots of the content that wasn't allowed under most other instances.
But here's the thing: that instance shut down before 90% of instances today existed, like a year or two before the great reddit migration. So the admins of those instances don't even know what a wolfballs is, they just blocked a site that doesn't even exist and has never existed at the same time as their own instances. I feel like it's "I was just following orders to fight the bad guys!"
Anyway, it makes me thankful for all the chill people I can hang with here. Sit down with me 15 years ago, 10 years ago, and 5 years ago and you'll be talking to a different person each time with fundamentally different beliefs in some areas (not everything, but my life is so fundamentally different than it was 15 years ago, if I were to hold on to every single piece of who I was back then, it just wouldn't make any sense). Really thankful for all the people who are coming with me on my journey to try to understand the world and understand myself, and some of the dumb things I say along the way LOL.
