Is it weird that I feel a little sad when I mute accounts harassing me? Like, they'll just keep tweeting and will never know it's useless. Is blocking the more humane action here? Deep thoughts, I know.

block when they’re abusive/threatening, mute when they’re dumb/annoying

Block if they have significant followings and they try to drag you and unleash trolls on you. Also block people who put you in twitter canoes

well said! hate-RTs designed to unleash trolls is really a big part of the problem

Whether you mute, block or "shadow ban", it's the same hypocritical attitude of a cowardly press corps, who tout the virtues of "FREE SPEECH", while doing everything it can to suppress it.

Ok, playing devil's advocate here (which my son says is my most annoying trait), but by blocking those with opposing views aren't we just creating our own echo chamber? It's why I follow

Any journalist who blocks instead of mutes has no confidence in their power to persuade others through the written word.

BLOCK. It’s a favor to your followers, and prevents disinformation.
