Blocking keeps my feed nice. See people being assholes? Block them. See a post discussing something I don’t want to hear about? Block them. See a community I don’t want to hear about? Block them. The greatest thing about social media is the ability to never have to interact with someone again at no detriment to them. Blocking is good.
Agreed, I’m not out to create an echo chamber, but it’s also not difficult sometimes to see a lost cause just there to troll or spread hate or division. Those get the block hammer. I don’t mind disagreements if they are shared in good faith and are respectful. Those are few and far between, especially right now unfortunately.
I totally agree with you though.
