I Guess I've Been Blocked

I am signed in. As I was checking the profile of someone who had followed me here, I noticed she had commented on a discussion by someone I haven't seen online in ages -- since Bubblews days. I moved to his discussion, but saw no way to comment. The options were "like," "tag," "suggest," or "report." No "respond." Yet others have commented. And I see no way to comment on their comments. Does this mean I've been blocked? I can't follow him, so I guess I have been blocked.
That never occurred to me, since I thought we were friends and I was planning to give him a warm welcome here. Oh, well. You can't win them all. I'm hoping it's just a mistake.

Yes, that is probably what has happened. As others suggest try to find out if this was not a mistake. I know I write on another site and they have the option of not only commenting but also up or downvoting a reply. Problem is that sometimes you can make a mistake and downvote when you wanted to upvote.

@Letranknight2015 Maybe computers are ganging up on us and indiscriminately blocking people we may want to follow. I've never intentionally blocked anyone, and if anyone thinks I've blocked them, I'd want to know it so I can fix it.

Me too and it does not bother me one iota.
Remember you from that site also.
I left it as I got fed up with it.
People are like that and that is it no way round it.

@bagarad
Same as me and I just said to myself time to say ta ta Sue and so I did.
I did not want to leave all the "Friends" I had made on there but there was no way out of that one for me.
Did not write anywhere for a long long time after that.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I'm glad some of my favorite people from there wound up here after all.

@much2say I've always felt phones were for verbal conversations and emails were for talking online to one person. I've always considered a phone a poor substitute for a computer. The only reason I might break down and get one is to be in Instagram, to be able to see who's at my door and answer them remotely, and to have as a backup if I ever have to sit in a hospital room for hours.

Could be a mistake and let's hope that he gets to read this.

@bagarad Well then he has no reason to block you at all since your friendship goes a long way back.

@toniganzon I can't think of any reason, but you can never be sure of what another person you've not talked to in a long time thinks. Come to think of it, the site were were on might have been Persona Paper, not Bubblews. It's hard to remember. Persona Paper is still around, though it no longer pays. Maybe he's upset I'm not there much anymore.

such things do happen. why do you bother if someone blocks you? It is their nature or shallow nature of viewing the things. I think like that and go on.

If he meant to block me, I'm good with that. But if it was not intentional, he might want to correct it so I can increase his earnings by responding to his discussions.

You can message a third person to check with that person who blocked you whether it was something unintentional.

Might just be a mistake. Have someone your close to here ask them. They may not even know they did it

I use the word friend in a social media sense. We've never met except online and I don't know him as well as most of my friends here. But our relationship online has always been peaceable in my opinion, and I've always hoped good things for him.

@thedevilinme Ah! So being punished proves I'm guilty of something?

Wow. Really? If I don't like that person or his/her comments to me, well, I can always ignore him/her but not to the point that I will block him/her.
