I think it's important to consider other points of view thoughtfully, and question your base assumptions. Sometimes, constructive and argumentative discussion can help with that, assuming both parties are informed and respectful.

Now, how often have you seen a disagreement in the comments section where both parties are informed, respectful, and working constructively to really understand the underlying issues?

Sometimes, it's best to just walk away, and blocklists are an excellent way to do so.

They had that whole Neutral Zone to keep the Romulan/.world/.ml/your-least-favorite-instance people at bay that didn't share those lofty values. Those values also included letting civilizations be wiped out if they hadn't made it to space fast enough.

Sometimes you get the Tamarians, sometimes you get the Pakled, and sometimes you get the Borg.

Life isn't an endless grind or a thing to be beaten. If I think something's annoying I'll disappear it from my feed.

I'm not obligated to waste my limited time on earth with frustrating and ultimately irrelevant strangers on the internet.

@krooklochurm @milkisklim this says nothing about blocking people who think differently, just blocking people who are perpetually unhappy & spread that unhappiness everywhere…

but more generally, people are absolutely entitled to drop their opinions and hot takes on social media – but they’re not entitled to demand or expect anyone’s ongoing attention if what they drop isn’t of interest (or is antithetical to their world-view) 💁‍♀️

You some champion of missing the point?
