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 block politics in general. If I want to discuss politics, I’ll do it with people in real life (or online with people I know in real life). I use social media mostly for entertainment and “why thing not work no more?” Kind of stuff.
