I tend to avoid blocking communities and people on social media as I don't want to create myself an echo chamber. On other social media, such as x/twitter, I only block folk who are directly abusive to myself.
There is nothing wrong with protecting your sanity. Why would you want to be exposed to vile nonsense, you're not going to read breitbart forums in your spare time are you? Like... You're the only one looking out for you online. The platforms are just trying to turn your participation into profit.
Because otherwise I'll be under the illusion that they don't exist.
Nonsense, if you have to block them, you confirm they exist.
It is not like they get automatically blocked by some form of algorithm.
That is not a good approach. The info shit is flowing and never ending, it's designed to to fuck with you.
