This is a normal post Has b3ta always been this grouchy?
Seems like the comments on everything are more curmudgeonly than I remembered?

In any case, though I'd agree the video is a little long, thanks for posting - a good find - this would make a good print workshop activity : )

This is a normal post Thanks! I thought it looked like a simple bit of crafting that might appeal.
Not always this grouchy, they were young once and carefree but now can't sleep for more than a few hours at a time and have to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

This is a normal post I've blocked just a couple of people and I couldn't see what you were referring to..
Then I opened up the whole thread in a private window and what you mentioned, and the cause, got clarified.
I've found that by blocking the odd prick, I really don't miss anything. Their posts don't get shown unless somehow it's on a popular page, but it does mean that any threads that start with said prick's post (or one of their replies) get hidden from your regular timeline. Some is echo-chamber and some is like watching a particularly belligerent pig enjoying the mud fight. I don't know much about George Bernard Shaw but he hit that nail rather squarely.
Tbh, you don't miss anything good and the toxicity is almost completely gone. In this case, I saw your reply because it was on a 'clean' thread. For my sins, I can't help getting wound up by the wilfully ignorant, so to paraphrase; If it doesn't add net value to your life, let it go.

If someone whose work/words that I enjoy posts in reply on such a thread, you initially don't see it, again unless it's been voted up. However, it's looking increasingly like some don't post there because they have either already blocked them too and can't see the thread, or they realise that their work is getting less exposure there..
It's been months, if not a lot more, that I've had brb in particular blocked and this is the first time that I've engaged in a thread involving him in that time. In this moment, right now, I'm reminded of the negative effect that it can have on the site and on me, Some people are irredeemable and want to start a fight in an empty room so, after some needless fomo, I can safety say that my b3ta world is back to the more reasonable place I enjoyed before.

This is a normal post Hiya gorgeous
I was thinking I need my own natty phrase like yours for spammers.
I'm thinking either
"Well, good for you" ( a la Andy Hamilton in Old Harry's Game )
or
"You must be very proud" a la posh totty in Four Weddings.

Big wet Xmas kisses to you and all the Fadge Family.
