Block and mute early

Block and mute often

Do it for reasons that are entirely "selfish"

No one is entitled to your attention

There will not be a test

Nothing bad happens if you don't hear them

Too many techbros? Mute 'em all

That one guy's jokes need a CW? Your timeline can be full of other stuff

You can even mute that one person's boosts while keeping their posts

It's not censorship; you're not hurting that person

And you don't ever need to explain it or tell anyone

@bgcarlisle A quote from Popehat comes to mind:

"I am consistently amused by the concept that if you don't want to hang out with trolls and assholes, you have thin skin. This seems to flow from the trolls' and assholes' sense of entitlement to be talked to. But life is short. Why spend it with people like that?"
