Block-Swiping.

Block Swiping is when someone knowingly antagonizes you or wants their 'final word' in before blocking you. This is just an elevated flame bait tactic to instigate someone into chasing that user up until they get banned. I find that this kind of behavior is counter-productive to having decent engagements online in general. You should be banned for this because all that this does is just fuel more drama.

Bannable is pretty extreme. The post should be removed though. If they continually bait the listed reason on the ban will not be, "block swiping" it will be trolling.

No because it's like doxxing. Nobody is doxxing another always with the best intentions in mind, there are exceptions. But a lot of the time, it is to stir up shit when nobody has asked for it. You're not block-swiping to always avoid someone, you're block-swiping just to be an asshole about it.

Doxxing? Do you know what that phrase means?

Grasping for straws to troll, are we?

Absolutely unhinged take. Block swiping is merely rude. So what? Meanwhile doxxing can potentially expose someone to physical danger

go back to Reddit for that.

Ironic coming from a 6-day old accound with less than 50 comments/posts. Why don't you go back to Reddit?

Tbh, you just seem like an emotionally immature asshole that's miserable to be around, and that's the most likely factor playing into you getting block-swiped.

Keep pounding sand all you like, I'm not going to hear it. Byeeeee!
