Every day, I see absolutely moronic comments getting upvoted while perfectly reasonable takes are downvoted. This would be a great opportunity to curate your feed by blocking these users en masse. Active curation like this is the only way to make social media even half-tolerable.

Whether you use it to filter out toxic users or to build an echo chamber, I think everyone should be free to do so. No one should be forced to share space with people they feel bring no value to the discussion - or, worse, make it more toxic.

    personally couldn’t care less if a blocked person can see my posts and comments.

    OK

    There’s even one commenting on this thread. What use the feature for is to get them out of my sight.

    Contradiction to the statement before

    If they want to write me angry comments that never see, then have at it.

    No, when someone is blocked the person shouldn’t be able to spread shit.

          Well yeah, I can see that the thread has received more replies than what I’m seeing.

          Also, even if I did see their comments, I don’t see how it contradicts my statement about how I don’t care if they see mine.
