Why do I give even a second thought to the reaction of other online users (who may not even be human) when I get blocked? They’re strangers. None of this matters. It will not affect my physical life in any way what so ever. My rational side is absolutely boggled at my emotional side. (additionally, I know I’m not the only one but I prefer to ask questions like this in first person.)

    I get angry if blocked because it feels like I’ve lost any opportunity to defend myself. I also have trauma from being treated unfairly in the real world

      do you mean user or community? I mean with a user you could always post a comment saying whoever blocked you but here would be your reply. Honestly im not even sure a user block even works that way. I assume you could reply but they would not get notified and none of your stuff would appear in their feed.
