Every block enforced your echo chamber, brick by brick.

This is why i don't block things in general. How could I possibly have the slightest bit of nuanced idea of what other people talk about, if i just block it?

I'm with you, to a degree. If I see someone clearly acting in bad faith and/or trolling, then they are just wasting my time.

However, if we have a disagreement of opinion, I don't feel right about blocking that someone. This would lead to a lonely existence, because the odds of having someone that agrees with every single one of my opinions is pretty low, so that means over time, I'd have blocked everyone.
