You are free to do as you desire, but in my view, engagement encourages engagement. People post to engage people. If you feel like you're shouting into the void, you're less likely to post again, because doing so is equivalent to not posting at all.
There's a reason these morons followed us here. They thrive on our attention, and without it, they wither. And Bluesky's block is fucking great at starving the beast.
Blocking absolutely does not mean they win. Engagement means they win. They aren’t cowed by smart big words and aren’t looking for honest discourse. They just want to ragebait you and keep you mad and arguing. It’s all bad faith. Deny the invasive plants water and they wither and die.
Getting blocked by large numbers is also a flag to moderators that they don't belong here. Also: before blocking, report transphobia and other bullying/hate to mods. Unlike Twitter, it works here.
