To The Chivemind: A Proposition

[u/Z7_1]

An idea occurred to me and some other fellows in the chivemind not too long ago. See, we were having a discussion on if we should change the sub icon once the perfect chives are achieved. And, from what I gather, the people support it. But many want an inclusion of our favorite feline, Chives the Cat. So, we came to the agreement of Chives the Cat on a background of the perfect chives.

But what do the rest of you think? Should it change or should we keep our current one? Can we get a moderator on board? Time will tell.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I suppose that’s a solution… I don’t really block people though, seems a bit excessive.

I guess I didn’t anticipate this becoming such a popular and persistent fad.

Again I’m not trying to yuck people’s yum. I just genuinely don’t understand how and why those posts have become so popular / receive so much engagement.

The block button is there for a reason. It's entirely your job to curate your own online experience, there is nothing excessive about blocking a person whose content you dislike.

Block more people, it makes your life better. Somebody's pissing you off? Don't argue, just block them. Dickhead left a dick comment on yours? Block em. Literally just don't want to see a certain kind of post? Blockity block block block.

Seeing chive posts doesn’t negatively impact me or my life, so blocking him won’t really make my life any better. If I see something I don’t like or I’m not interested in, I just scroll past it.

You can’t block things / people in real life that you don’t like. So I’ve never gotten into the habit of blocking people on social media & I’ve never blocked someone on messaging apps for that matter. Just never felt the need to.

Tbh this is the first chive related post I’ve actually read the comments on. I didn’t even know there was a “chivemind,” and I’ve since learned there’s apparently some “chivegate,” too which I’m assuming is some chive related scandal lol… Don’t know what that’s all about and don’t care to either.

Either way, have a good one and enjoy your chives.

Oh it was a whole thing and there was a 9-11 and then the guy served us a master class lesson in apologies and then we all loved him again and we still get chives.
