On Blocking and the Butterfly Effect

Blocking someone doesn’t just end that conversationit sends a signal. Others see it and pull back, hesitant to invest. It becomes viral. By cutting people off, you make meaningful social interaction harder for yourself. Every block, every dismissal, is a shot in your own foot. Next time, please think twice.

'Think twice' assumes people didn't already. Not every block is a butterfly, some are hornets and some of us have had to learn to swat early. Blocking is very often a valid way of restoring agency especially when the other party is triggering hypervigilance. Should it still considered shooting oneself in the foot if the alternative is staying in the type of terrain that is actively disregulating? (edited)
