No it's lame. I just mute people if I think they get too annoying. I've only blocked maybe 2 or 3 accounts total, but they were just busybody accounts which were doxing people and posting personal info

Many people use blocking just to clean up their feed: "I don't want to see lots of X," for some X.

Does blocking even do that, though? Muting is the obvious "bored of hearing this shit" option.

against bots, yes, otherwise I don't see why a mute wouldn't suffice.
