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.

yes. I decided pretty much that if someone tries to pick a fight and just comes at me with insults right out the gate, I just block and move on. no need to drag it out with jerks who don't show even the bare minimum human respect.
