@Tattooed_Mummy @afewbugs @CarstenBoll Good question. I'd like a full list with notes, now that I think about it. Not just blocks and mutes, but any profile I added a note to. That's be a handy at-a-glance guide.

@nic @afewbugs Saisplained. I will remember that. The word, I mean. Not to do it (I hope).

@greenpete You took that very literally.

@nic I'm guessing the Sais there is related to Sassenachs. A kind of local version of the Irish 'The Brits Are At It Again' between the Welsh and English

"I wish I could see the list of notes next to my blocklist" - oh yes please. I would love this feature. The notes are fairly buried in the current set-up. I would love an at-a-glance list of name + note on block lists.

@nic @afewbugs I wonder that too, if they know we mute or block persistent hashtag spammers. It achieves the opposite of what they're striving for. 5, or maybe 6 hashtags, and I start to twitch.

@afewbugs @nic Double-mansplainy! The assumption that you didn't know enough to know that you wanted to farm engagement. And the assumption that you didn't know how hashtags work.

@nic @ygathgoch That was considerate, but yes, I imagine it makes it more complicated to just naturally use the language in everyday situations.

@nic Oh my, Welshsplaining!

@ygathgoch @nic Such a pity that some people have that attitude

@Tattooed_Mummy It's a big tent, that Mansplainer category

@Tattooed_Mummy @CarstenBoll On the plus side, blocking can be quite liberating. The person disappears instantly from the universe, I find. Unless it was something especially egregious, I won't remember later that they existed. I assume it's the same for those who block me. Sometimes I meet someone who's blocked me when I can't see their one post in a thread of mutuals. I always feel happy for them.They got the peace they wanted!

@CarstenBoll @Tattooed_Mummy It's not, sadly. Especially not for women, I dare say.

@CarstenBoll @Tattooed_Mummy I was only joking about the sub-categories and long notes. Reply guys are so common in here that I have one-word codes for whichever variety they are. Not code as in 'secret', just a word that I know conveys the difference between one kind and the other.

"But I almost never block, though. People don't interact with me in a negative way, most of the time" - am happy that's your experience online!

@nic

"The only negative comments I’ve had about postng in Welsh have come from people who live in Wales."

That surprised me!

@Badgardener Agreed. I would never assume that it is impossible for something private online to become not private. Whether by accident or malicious design.

@CarstenBoll 'Nutcase' is succinct. My notes are slightly more expansive. Especially the ones about Reply Guys. They have subcategories at this point, mostly with the given nuance if I decided to, say, mute instead of block. Or to not mute yet, but may later. Or if it's someone I haven't interacted with but see being a reply guy on someone else's thread. They're my favourites, it's like a stress-free block, avoiding the problem before it arises

@feijoa @Tattooed_Mummy You'd better remember me when they make you Ambassador of Mastodon. I'll be wanting some kind of fancy post in your cabinet of Fedi-power. Like, I'll be the one who gets to decide how many hashtags are too many hashtags.
