Have you ever being blocked on social media?

No

Ralf and Florian

Was also blocked by Joe McGill, a high-ish profile Irish artist based in Finland. At the time of the Isis terror attacks in Brussels a few years ago he shared a meme that could be interpreted as trying to justify the attacks on the grounds of Nato bombings of Syria. I politely took him up on it and pointed out that Belgium had not participated in the bombing of Syria and even if they had it didn't justify terror attacks on civilians. He gave an obnoxious reply and deleted my post. When I asked (politely again) why he had deleted my post he blocked me.

To be fair, I see this kind of nonsense all the time, usually aimed at Gary Lineker. Stick to football bla bla bla. Ironic that he's told by regular joe soaps with no area of professional expertise, to stick to said area of expertise, while Joe Soap continues to spout their opinion on a whole ream of areas, none of which they have expertise in.

Good point, but what annoyed me more was he is always going on about the dangers of misinformation - just look at how the moon landings are fake and flat earth nonsense have taken off again with social media.
And how it's important for people to have access to proper info.
He is supplying that proper info yet blocks people (I presume Im not the only one) ?
I mean understandable if Im posting offensive stuff or threats ... but he could just mute me ffs!!

Anyway, I doubt it's him maintaining that account.

I got blocked by a film studies student in UCD or Trinity when I replied to her tweet lambasting a straight female porn actress who did not want to have sex with a bisexual man, by pointing out that she was essentially ignoring the issue of consent with this stance.

On Instagram I got blocked by some influencer who had been caught up in photoshopping controversies by asking under particular "natural look xoxo" photos whether these had been shopped like with some of her other photos?

That porn star got so much harassment she ended her own life- and these people proceeded to harass her off of this mortal coil.

As for being blocked-a few people I know in person blocked me. On facebook or twitter. Tbh, that kind of attitude won't get them far in life, it wasn't as if I harassed em on social media or in person, some I considered friends.
Others I blocked for harassment or not wishing to engage with em-one or two were harassing me.

My twitter account got hacked about two years ago-some folks seeling sunglasses, and then proceeded to spam followers-I got blocked by quite a few.
As for famous people who blocked me-The director of Punisher War Zone and Green Street Hooligans has me blocked. Lexi Alexander's her name.

A few others have me blocked via a block bot because of an account I follow. I'm not blocked by any major ones. I know John Cusack uses a block bot, yes the actor. I tend to block them before they can block me-it's Cathartic that way.

Louise O'Neill. I liked a negative comment somebody made about one of her articles.

I get a right laugh out of these types, to think of them spending their days not just blocking outright opposers, but to spending time scrolling through comments and see who's been "liking" and agreeing with those opposers too!

Some bloggers and youtubers are absolute clowns for this. I remember at the time of the blogger "exposé" when their hilarious photoshopping ways were revealed, some of the worst offenders must've been spending every second of their lives blocking the commenters because you'd have a look at their most recent posts and see a stream of "you're so amazing" "gorgeous hun love you xxxxx" comments underneath them whereas the entire media had been calling them on their bullsh1t. :pac:

Anyway, my claim to fame is I got blocked by Bill Cosby for calling him a gross pervert when the news broke about his gross perverting ways.

Yer Da sells Avon

I tend not to get blocked on Twitter because I don't think my opinions are so important that those with whom I disagree really need to hear them.

I almost always block or mute random people who pop up in my mentions to tell me that I'm wrong. And if I don't like the cut of their jib, I take a quick glance through their recent tweets to find something abusive, so I can grass on them, thus ideally getting them kicked off Twitter.

There's a beauty blogger on youtube who was exposed on a recent 'Tenants from Hell' documentary on Channel 5 I think. She basically left her landlords ten grand in arrears, but was spending a s**t ton of money on beauty products, lip fillers, and other stuff. She also violated her tenancy by having pets, which were not allowed.
Well, she's blocked all ratings on her recent videos, and disabled comments-including 'bullying' such as 'pay your rent you dirty woman'. Most of the poo was said to be animal, but I'd be worried much of it was hers too.

The sad thing is, the state she left the place in-I've known many a woman, older than her, who's done similar stuff. They were working professionals, and things got so bad the neighbourhood dropped in a letter telling em to tidy up the mess. Absolutely disgusting, it would turn your stomach.

Apparently Vogue 'Williams/ Wilson/ used to be McFadden' soon to be 'formerly Spencer or something' blocks quite a lot. Niamh Horan called her out on this and her comments of 'trolling'-saying she's protecting her 'brand' and isn't suffering anything close to trolling.
