Have You Ever Been Blocked on Facebook?

How did it make you feel? Sometimes I have no idea why people do what they do. People are phenomenally inconsistent and unpredictable. Especially on the internet.

I'm so done with Facebook. I switched over to TSU (which I have the link to on my profile on here) it's just an overall more healthier website to me. Facebook is so much drama but TSU is really great because I found a nice group of positive people on there and it's been really encouraging, not to mention you can make money using it. :) I've made a whole $3 on there so far! lol.

The only thing I find on Tsu is artwork by photographers, I find it has almost no traction for attracting readers to my various articles around the web.

@Bellatricks That is what I have long suspected wit Tsu. I use Facebook to drive traffic to my work and it is an essential part of what I do almost daily.

Oh yes Bella many people I know have moved over there too. I hear it pays about the same as here though, but myLot is easier to use I do find facebook irritating myself. Plus, if you have a business like I do, any content you put on there you do not legally own; further, if your main account ever gets suspended for any reason it will "unpublish" your business page. It is an iffy proposition to use facebook for anything long-term

I have blocked about a dozen people on Facebook who I knew from other sites and didn't want to have anything to do with. If I am blocked, the nature of Fb is that it's not obvious.

I think I have never been blocked. Dont know what will happen if someone blocks me. So Im not sure if anybody had blocked me in the past or not. How do you know if someone has blocked you?

Haha, well if you've ever had a message conversation with them for example, and you later see that their name has disappeared, I think that means they blocked you. Or you go back to a thread from days before and find that their comments are gone but everyone else's are still there, chances are they've blocked you..especially if others are continuing to address that same person by name yet you can't see their comments!! Haha

@buttheadface932 I grew up in a large family. I ran my own business for twelve years. I have learned to not take everything personally. I have also learned to not sweat the small stuff. Someone blocking me on Facebook? Small stuff.

I don't know if I have been blocked by anyone in Facebook, so I think it doesn't really matter to me. I believe there's a reason if someone really blocks me as I might be too irritating to him or her. I have not block anyone in Facebook, as most of the friends I added to list are those I know personally. Hope you will feel better soon.

@buttheadface932 You are welcome. I am also learning to ignore those "irrelevant" people or what they said or did.

Thanks Lee! I did shortly after, although, I do feel pangs of hurt from time to time!

I don't think I have ever been blocked on Fb. If I have been I haven't noticed. Lol. It wouldn't really bother me much anyway, I don't want anyone in my life that doesn't want to be in my life.

I have never been blocked (or at least I don't believe so). I rely on Facebook for commercial based networking so try to act in a consistent manner every time I use it. That said I am not sure it is easy to tell if you have been blocked.

@buttheadface932 On one of my projects I work with a person whose views on one subject I am in completely disagreement, we can work together because we will avoid that subject altogether (or sometimes take polite digs at each other)

I usually notice through messages you have previously exchanged, or on comment threads.
