After years on Twitter, I've finally started getting more liberal in who I'm blocking - mostly people who insult my ideas or immediately assume bad faith. Until now I think I blocked only 2-3 people over seven years. How often do you block people on twitter?

Constantly. Iron fist.
4.7%
Often. Good hygeine.
7.6%
Occasionally. Spot clean.
22.4%
Rarely/never. Au Natural
65.3%

She said "assuming bad faith". Meaning people who read the worst possible version into whatever she writes. That one is fairly easy to determine, especially when it happens repeatedly.

Right, like when people engage not with what I'm saying, but with some other evil version of me. I am happy to hold discussion around maybe every single viewpoint in existence, but it's not fun to do it with people who think we're fighting.

That puts a (perceived) 90% of activist twitter on your blocklist though ;-)
