One thing I’m clear on right now is that I have to block with ease these days because I do not have time or emotional space to get repeatedly annoyed by anonymous chodes who angrily nitpick rather than adding to the conversation

I'm deliberately mostly posting fun takes to preserve my peace since my work life is spent looking at a lot of not fun things and even there people feel the need to come at me for jokes! Jokes!
Had a (white) woman tell me that emailing false leads to DEIA snitches and "posting our plans" was a bad idea and a felony (no and wow-no). She told me I was immature for playing games and I'd go to jail. I blocked her. I will not entertain women who are very comfortable letting it play out.
If you think you know someone’s entire political ethos based on one post that wasn’t worded the way you would have worded it, you’re not smart, you’re a lazy asshat
Some folks who've come over have brought their old ethos with them, and there's only so much effort can be spent on re-educating them. There's also the waves of "disagreement bots", which also benefit from instant blocking.

Some people do it just because they get a thrill out of pissing somebody off.
There are few lower hanging fruits than to question somebody's political philosophy, personally.
