Having a #Fediverse instance that gives me a notification when someone blocks me is always interesting.

I don't get blocked very often. I try to be respectful of others, and not rude. But, I got a block this morning.

I'd never interacted with the person who blocked me. I didn't follow him; he didn't follow me; I've never seen his posts.

I was curious why he would've blocked me, so I checked out his profile, and I saw some recent posts discussing the whole silliness of this proposed American TikTok ban. I think he blocked me because I made a joke this morning about it, and maybe he happened to see it in his Federated feed, or in a tag search.

But, if that's why he blocked me, he probably didn't get that I was being sarcastic, making a joke.

I'm not offended, or anything. Like I said, I wasn't following him. It's no real loss on my part. But, I do find it weird. Do people really #block others so easily? I rarely block other people. I really only block people who are bigoted, or trolls, or just generally hateful. I wouldn't block someone just because they said something I disagreed with, especially if it was someone I didn't even follow.

I find the whole thing odd.
