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 I couldn't agree more with the idea that "No one is entitled to your attention"

Most of our media economy is actually an attention economy. Attention is a resource even more valuable than time, since time passes anyway even when you're not paying any attention.
