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?
Just kidding. Debate is good, but unfortunately some of them is done in bad faith, either just for trolling, or because the oposing side just has no intention of even considering your arguments.
In both case, blocking is justified.
I tend to steer clear of online debate, i just want to see what is being written so that I don’t get a skewed view.
The only way to avoid the echo chamber is likely not participating in social media at all.
If I have the energy for it, I browse some classical forums, where you have to go through every reply. Kind of tedious, but atleast every post gets the same “weight”.
Devils advocate hat ON: I recon they feel the same way about you. What’s the play? Just ignore them while they take over your country? Do you think that you can solve the problem without infringing on peoples right to listen to whatever they want?
Because you read (past tense) it before you blocked it?
That’s the whole point. I don’t want a “past tense” understanding of what is being said and written by “people”.
Obviously spammers get blocked, cause they make it hard to read. The rest are just words and opinions. All of which I’m perfectly capable of dealing with.

Ok, blocked.

ive debated these maga morons for nearly a decade. i’m done. there’s no amount of logic or facts that will ever save them.

there are other, more effective ways to fight back than to argue with an inanimate object.
Ok, maybe get on that then. Cause it ain’t goin’ very well…

also- It’s certainly not hard to get a nuanced idea of others non-nuanced ideas.
Or read up on what their ideas are and not engage with the worst version of a person with that belief system.
