The Blurt community rejects all forms of bullying and will act swiftly and decisively if and when such cases emerge.
What is Bullying?
Bullying can be best defined as a behavior that is intended to cause or should be known to cause people to feel uncomfortable or threatened.
Bullying is an action that hurts, frightens, upsets, or demeans someone else. It can be committed by a group or a single individual and may involve repeated and systematic harassment and attacks or a single incident of inappropriate conduct designed to harass or intimidate a victim. Bullying can take many forms, none of which are acceptable. The main types of bullying include:
Verbal threats, text threats, veiled threats, insults, stalking, harassment, economic threats to individuals or to the community, doxing threats, vulgarity, and defamation. Racist comments, sexist comments, teasing, taunting, extortion, putdowns, labeling, extortion, etc

Bullying is something which occurs in playgrounds between children. As we grow up we learn how to stand up for ourselves. Adults do not 'bully' each other because we are grown-ups. If Blurt is a childrens playground then it's not really a place to be blogging nor is it a 'free-speech' zone which it claims to be.
So which is it?
I don't understand what you would do to these bullies? Cancel their account? People pay for these accounts. Also, why would people invest in Blurt if their account can be cancelled if they are deemed bullies. I agree we should not be abusing one another on this platform or any other and we don't want people leaving because folks are being cruel to them but we can block/mute folks right?
For example, If I have someone being cruel on my blog in the comments I can mute that person. If they want to post things about me on their blog, it's their blog and well, if they want to show everyone what an ass they are, let them. People can always leave comments on that blog letting that person know they are being an ass. Surely the Blurt community can shun, ignore and mute folks themselves without a council of sorts. Just my opinion.
yeah that´s a good one, we don´t need more shit like seen in STEEMIT, or HIVE, its bad enough that some guys with the keys in hand came to the idea of freezing accounts, that´s slightly criminal, and for sure its censorship in its best way, but I guess that´s their choice its their baby should they throw it away like a useless toy the only one they hurt with that is their big ego and their maybe not so deep pockets when the project is running fast against the next wall 💸🤣
it would be nice to have a "friends only" posting option (with encryption)
if we could make "invite only" blogs, we could finally get everyone off of discord
Absolutely who would feel safe investing in blurt knowing their money can just be taken away cause one person interprets something as bullying. This is a joke. I really believed in blurt and it being on the right track but it’s just putting off any serious investors and going against everything it was set up to be. .. pro free speech. If people don’t want free speech there are others platforms already available to them.
lol one day so many cry baby groomers will lose their job when people stop paying to demonetize hate speech, its like the war on drugs, problem reaction solution the cycle repeats... Or maybe we stop fulfilling the definition of insanity.
What if someone shares a picture with their hair braided and it causes someone to be upset they culturally appropriated? That fits this description. Demo lovato recently had a breakdown and called out an ice cream shop because they displayed sugar free ice cream on promotion and she said it triggered her eating disorder. This behaviour made someone feel upset, uncomfortable and attacked. Is that considered bullying?

You might say I’m being silly but Demi really believes this ice cream shop is completely to blame and doesn’t feel any need to be responsible for her own feelings or triggers. So who on blurt is deciding what’s rediculous vs genuinely bullying because the line is very fine these days. If someone feels bullied but hasn’t blocked the person then they are enjoying it on some level. If the person continues to harass them on various platforms or threaten them then that’s when the police could get involved.
On it !!!!!!!!

Etymology has this to say about your post.
Unfortunately, there is no definition there about "cyberbullying" except on leftist dictionaries and statist dictionaries(black law dictionary).
In the cyber space one whonis recieving hated commentary can just ignore them very easily.
before the internet, hanging up the phone was the best way to end conflicts. now we have the mute function.
Ever notice how honest people are first to be hanged?
I can see clear you are being bully'd right now .
.
So i stand up for what's right and won't stay silence .
Ain't laughing or being entertained at all .
Sorry , discord is the devils hell hole , got to skip that one .
Approaching this situation respectful and non aggressive .
Inviting YOU to follow me to the door , witch ill politely open for you .
While advising you to go and seek a good shrink .
Goodbye , watch the step on your way out ,. cya .
stupid moron ..... ;-)
Telling someone the truth will fall under this category. However truth does not give a shit about snowflakes melting under the heat of the rising sun. So being honest is now bullying?
hehe if you got the money its seems like that ;)
Thank you for adding me to your follow list.
Edit: changing question.
What do you love about me that made you add me?
Hahahahahaha, you know its like in kindergarden, the boys pull the girls hair, who freak out, but they secretly love it, and wanna marry them 😅😂🤣
Maybe its a list of all the ones they have a secret crush on 😉
Such a wierd way to display "love". I think that stems from being bullied at home and misinterpreted at affection.
"Son, I hit you because I love you"
The innocent child will then go out to bully everyone he likes, while losing him/her self to that false light of living.
Yes, I agree it most of the time has roots there.
And no wonder that those who've been abused at home will be attracted to those who are abusing them.
But yeah, it is a classic thing amongst kids. . .showing affection through violence, cause they haven't been educated how else it could be done. . .
Is threatening someone with an account freeze for disagreeing with me also "bullying" because I'm not sure?
YES !
A list compromised of people whose behavior offends YOU.. is a form of BULLYING! If backed by the centralized " governance" of the power holders or any witness, you have shown your weak ass attempt to be a virtue signaling tyranny! FREE SPEECH or expressed opinions of others and things is not YOUR JOB TO CENSOR OR MANIPULATE BLURT! Stand DOWN! #GrowYourSelf
