      @jedws Completely aside from the case you're talking about, there's a worrying trend on social media that that's the Right Thing To Do.

      @d6 @propensive but blocking is response to only some of those cases, not all. some by thought, many can be handled by ignoring

      @jedws @propensive Possibly, but "can be handled" is in the eye of the beholder. Blocking is presumably for when ignoring isn't working.

      @d6 @propensive For me blocking is just "I heard what you said, you've said it to me too many times, I'm tired of listening, thanks".

          @propensive @d6 Agreed—although I think there's a fine line between ignoring opposing viewpoints and avoiding useless, draining discussions.

          @travisbrown @propensive It's crucial that social media allows you to filter your incoming traffic in order to preserve your own health.
