Blocking keeps my feed nice. See people being assholes? Block them. See a post discussing something I don't want to hear about? Block them. See a community I don't want to hear about? Block them. The greatest thing about social media is the ability to never have to interact with someone again at no detriment to them. Blocking is good.

I don't know why people want to have the same arguments with the same people, over and over again knowing it'll never be productive.

For them social media is just a pvp arguing arena.

I don't have the energy for that, if someone just doesn't get something after 3-5 replies I stop replying, if it keeps happening elsewhere or they act like a dick, I just block them.

Why waste your time on something that you know is only going to fail and likely cause yourself aggravation?

So you don't have an echo chamber. But I'm pretty sure you blocked me.

Yeah, I know that I'm reasonably articulate.

If the audience isn't picking up what I'm throwing down, I ain't here for it.
