Apparently a bunch of reflexively and/or intentionally toxic people are complaining how effective the "block" function is here.
1. Good
2. There is a high correlation between people anxious about being blocked and people who deserve immediate, pitiless blocking
3. Keep blocking toxic jerks, folks

My best to you and your family.
2. Why is it better here than elsewhere?
It removes both the blocked person and any drama as well.
You're basically removing the conversation from ever being viewed moving forward.
They can't see any of your posts at all,
and you can't see theirs, but you'll see your responses to their comments and that they did respond, and everyone else can see all.
Discourse on blocking has always confused me because it’s pretty inconsequential. You’re not putting them in jail, you’re just limiting their access to you.
Think it was about nuclear energy, the revulsion towards that IMAO is an unfortunate legacy of the 'hippy-era' and feelings about it run high.
Always hoped I might reverse this, but then he sadly passed away.😢

So no hard feelings, just sadness.

I've blocked some outside that system on first offense, but that requires a truly whopping turd of a comment or past history from another site.
Then I either add the person to the list. If the person is already in both, I'll Block
Usually this sentence or similar is enough:
“Probably not gonna have any positive interactions with this person.”
I think many have just forgotten how to share ideas and debate nicely.
I accept that if I stick my foot in my mouth I may get blocked by someone I like before I have a chance to apologize. My own damn fault.
But the lists mean that block might extend to *everyone* I like. With no recourse
But I follow them here, so I’m happy again. 😉
It is very funny when people brag about being blocked by me and don't understand why.
I love blocking, it keeps my hooves shiny and squeaky.

Notably, this is not about “maximizing engagement”
I’m just enjoying this while it lasts.
Musk has been very effective in creating a honeypot that catches and suffocates useful information (and even fun).
That’s the Breaks
