I disagree, mostly for reasons I've expressed before (blocking prevents trolls from harrassing your other followers) ... but also bc I don't actually think it's true that being blocked gives people satisfaction. I think they "brag" about it to vent, but really they're frustrated.https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1018944985415249924 …
I don't mute as a punishment, but whenever I feel that the expected mutual reward of future interactions does not warrant expending attention. Blocking needlessly consumes attention on the other side.
