the obligatory 5 people: oh man i gotta try that :)
I mean, how can you not at this point? The block button is right there, just tempting me.
from the title i thought this was something related to, like. artist's block or whatever.
you're telling me people can block themselves??? funniest shit i've seen, this is like telling people to not put a lightbulb in their mouth because it won't come out lol
i hadn't even thought of it before but now it lives in my head . . . . . . . . . . .
(/j, ill be good i GUESS)
My old colleague at Metafilter told me that the first day. She's tried it on her first day as a mod, and it did, in fact, cause a bunch of hassle.
lmaoooooooo incredible. i understand the siren song of "ok but will it even let me?" tho
Oh yeah, I used to work on a site where it was possible for an admin to ban themselves and the one time it happened they were properly stuck until someone else helped them out.
Now it’s tempting me like one of those extremely slammable emergency stop buttons that will cause all kinds of havoc when actually used. I won’t, but it’s still there.
Everyone wants to know what the big red button that says "do not push" does.
ask yourself a question anonymously and then be curious what happens when you block an anonymous ask then just go ahead and block yourself. then find the site only like 25% usable. lmao
blocking an anon self-ask isn't a full block, they behave differently internally. blocking an identified self-ask is a full block though, and if you do it i will be mad at you.
i have tried this on twitter before and it just gave me a funny internal error. i had the idea of trying it here but thought that something like That might happen. heh, i was right all along
Having seen this I am now curious about what its like to have blocked yourself. Like how does it affect what you can do/see. Like does it just stop you from seeing your own profile page and your posts or does it do something more?
Blocking yourself feels like the most "cohost thing" I've seen....
social media equivalent of jumping off a cliff in a new game to see if you take fall damage dslfkghfdskljgh
This post is like telling me not to put a lightbulb in my mouth. I wasn't even thinking about it but now....
