Blocking keeps my feed nice. See people being assholes? Block them. See a post discussing something I don’t want to hear about? Block them. See a community I don’t want to hear about? Block them. The greatest thing about social media is the ability to never have to interact with someone again at no detriment to them. Blocking is good.
Same goes for downvotes - giving something a downvote is the equivalent of giving everything else an upvote.
So it’s more efficient on time?
