I highly recommend the block instead of mute, especially for Twitterers with bigger presences. Mute allows shitbirds to keep swarming your followers/followed and those responding to you, but you don't see it -- so you leave your audience to deal with the abuse. Block mitigates.https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/1006045058464747521 …
Absolutely. Mute is for good or at least good-faith accounts that are annoying you. It's ineffective, and IMO irresponsible due to fallout on ppl you RT/QRT, to mute rather than blocking abusive accounts.
