    You might want to look up what patronize means, in the common phrase “don’t patronize me” it’s used sarcastically.

    Essentially, replace the word with “helpful” in your sentence, and you’ll see why it doesn’t fit.

      yeah, I get what you mean. But it’s still mostly fitting in the way I feel about it. Basically: users can think for themselves. They don’t need me to take care of the bit scary world out there.

      Doing so for a whole instance feels super condecending. “I know better than you what you want. I’m going to block it”
