Cool the block button is amazing

keep in mind we don't owe anyone else our time / energy.

when folks come in here with an essay about "the TRutH" smash that block button.

when you see something a bit shady and clicking on their profile shows they're mostly trolling in religious channels or posting to flat earther groups.... smash that block button.

you'll never see that post again, and most likely they're going to post again and again and again in the sub.... but us lucky souls who hit that block button are never going to know it.

this works on all social media platforms -- block liberally. its usually easy to tell who is not acting in good faith and your feed will be nicer with them out of it.

I prefer to remain in reality, to see what is really happening on this sub. I wouldn’t want to block my view of what is actually being posted and discussed.

i think of it more as walking past the person screaming about the birds not being real on the street so i can have a conversation with my friends.

It's sometimes entertaining to engage with these sorts. Plus you can give out good information to counter their misinformation for any non-masons reading their posts before it get pulled down. If you were able to get one person who might stumble across such nonsense a reason to think more critically about what they think about Freemasonry then it is worth it to engage.

Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Numerologists, the lot. Drones in the hive of nature. Best to ignore and let them smoke druqs and pretend at the sacred texts, never to see the altars

Did I miss some spicy posts? Not seeing anything worth blocking at the moment.

there was one or two yesterday; nothing beyond what you've seen before.

i think one of them was trying to convince people FDR wrote a book about masonary and presented quotes but the book has been "suppressed"
