I have used the fooked button a few times on AU to remove a spammer. Hardly ever blocked anyone. Occasionally pine for a mute; the odd person still tries to get attention by mentioning lots of "notable" accounts in a post. If they keep doing it, I just block. Emotionally AU is easy peasy to be on. The vibe is high and those who speak from ego just don't find a receptive audience, so stay away. Hold the reader's interest in mind, and only hit "publish" if there's value to them.
The jury is still out on TS. It may take the cultural shock of the Great Awakening (and mass awareness of media brainwashing, genetic poisoning, slave masters, etc) to get people to behave differently. Initially it will get much worse as scared and upset people tend not to be polite people. It's like we're all at different consciousness levels, and you should only try to interface with adjacencies, not jump levels.
I feel compassion and gratitude for those at different consciousness levels. Those at a higher level (who must have thought it a lonely road at times) have taught me awareness, patience, empathy and compassion and I try to practice awareness, patience, empathy and compassion toward others. I'm a work in progress.
I had a wonderful group of friends, we travelled and had so much fun together. And then the fun wasn't as much fun, and I found myself upset wondering why we did the exact same things and seemed to have the exact same conversations. When I realized it was me and not them, and I let go of the fear of letting go and forging a new path, it was a game changer. That path forward is a wide one, with space beside me
