I saw someone the other day boosted into my tl saying "ugh I don't block people but I might have to if y'all don't start cwing this thing" and like... yes? you should? blocking someone is not a moral decision. it isn't weighty. if you hate seeing my posts then the only person you are harming by not blocking me is yourself

This One Trick Will Revolutionize Your Use of Social Media: Block fuckwits. On social media, the advantage is that a large userbase and participation. The disadvantage: it's 99.9999% crap. What's working for me is to filter ruthlessly. If someone is disruptive, ideological, insane, or crazy-making, I'll block them without thought (I used to agonize over that, I don't any more). High signal is rare, but odds of missing out by blocking idiots are low. #BlockFuckwits https://web.archive.org/web/20180303151553/https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/drLZV8sm7Tq
