After many years, at last I have become sufficiently cantankerous that one egregiously stupid post to c/showerthoughts is enough to make me block someone.

    If it’s a 3-hour-old account, I don’t worry about it.

    If they have extensive post history and it doesn’t seem awfully toxic, and their modlog doesn’t indicate that this is a habit for them, then I might just assume they’re having a bad day and let it slide this time while hiding the thread.

    It usually doesn’t take many repeats of them posting about kids of rich people street racing or a single mother asking about her teenage son’s erections or whatever before I go “this guy again??” At that point I just block them.

      If it’s just the main post, I get it. If it continues in the comment replies, it’s more than just a bad day.
