Not *your* conversation. Anyway, I'll sign off since we seem to be going around in circles.

Blocking is itself an impediment to free xchange of ideas, not a solution for impediments. I agree, it's trying to make a public space yours
-
It can be if you're blocking sets of ideas rather than people who can't have discussions of them. I don't but that's OK too.
-
Yes, you build your own Twitter by choosing who to follow and who to allow to follow you, who to hear & who to allow to hear you.
-
That is OK & actually probably necessary once you get past a certain number of followers & want to be sure of seeing the worthwhile tweets
-
I actually agree that blocking may be a useful tactic for improving ur feed's signal-to-noise ratio. Just not that it's pro free speech.
-
Then we mean different things by FS. I don't include every person having access to every other person. I mean being able to express ideas
-
I do include every person having access when it's a public space. We probably disagree that "your Twitter" is a public space.
-
If by that you mean everybody having access to everybody, then, yes. I wouldn't be here, couldn't be here if I couldn't block people.
