When you block a user on kbin and they're so butthurt, they ban you from their "magazines."

Why did you block him/her?
Also, I didn't even know until now that we have supermods in kbin/lemmy. Lol.
They're a super right-wing user that spreads false information and moderates. They shouldn't be in a leadership role.
I just had a look at his profile, and wow, I wouldn't call him "super right-wing." I'd call him a loonie. Fortunately most of the magazines he's squatting on have similarly loonie names and I doubt there'll be much call to use them for anything productive. Maybe Graphene and Fluoride might be useful for serious posts someday, but they're pretty special-interest for the size of the Fediverse right now.
It’s a lot harder to squat in the Fediverse as you can just open a community on a different instance.
Personally, I have a pretty low bar for blocking other users here. If I find someone consistently annoying or negativistic I'm better off not seeing their posts, even if they're not actively trolling. It's not a public punishment or anything, they won't be affected at all, and I get to spend less time reading content that doesn't interest me.
I do have an account almost like that. But that one mostly blocks communities and I filter only by subscription. I don't usually block users, though. This account has almost no communities blocked lol.
But yeah, I get where you're coming from. That's a good idea, tbh. Does kbin/lemmy show a user who has blocked him/her? Asking because some people may take it personally (like the one OP posted).
