You think it’s good to let someone just talking to themselves without warning. You don’t do that in real life, why would it be ok in the internet? Just let them know you left, don’t waste anyone’s time.
Everyone talks about transparency but then are ok with being sneaky little fucks (sry can’t think of better word) when it’s convenient.
I don’t see how it’s the same. In real life I could just walk away and be done with it. Online they can just generate another account and insert themselves right before you.
If people could teleport or create avatars endlessly to try to talk to me in real life I would eventually just wear head phones and pretend to listen to them until they got bored.
I don’t think this is a good feature. If you’re going to ignore someone, own up to it and let them know, don’t let them in the dark
That is assuming the other person is interacting in good faith. If there’s one thing the internet is full is trolls.
Yes, that’s a healthy way to handle normal interactions.
However if you are being harassed by someone you don’t want to interact with them.
Often times blocking informs the other user which has been shown to just make people resort to other means.
There is practical application of not responding being better in some situations.
In normal human interaction, be good to each other. Ghosting is awful.
I don’t think this is intended for ghosting people though.
People will use it for ghosting unfortunately
That’s fine.
Those people suck and you didn’t lose anything.
This guy doesn’t know I’m ignoring him, and it makes me giggle
Why?
