You know you can just scroll past things you’re not interested in, right?
You know if you block something you aren't interested in you don't even have to scroll past it, right?
Yup, and I’m all for blocking! Go for it.
I’m not, however, a fan of people who comment just to complain about seeing something they don’t like instead of curating their feed or moving past. Which is why I’ve said nothing to the folks wishing for proper block/mute functions (even though a random post really isn’t the place where that’s gonna do anything; spend that energy making feature requests or in communities for those upcoming apps where the devs will actually see it) and made the comment to get person snarkily complaining about Musk content.
I'm not so sure that would be effective in a politics thread with lots of big emojis
