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.

Blocking is for the weak. Subscribe to the content you want to see and (mostly) only look at your subscriptions.

The only things I have blocked are porn communities/instances.

WEAK

Walking's okay but just for the reasons you choose anybody else having their own reasons, they're weak.

What an ass hat

Thanks, I think I'm gonna print this off and frame it.

I partly agree. However seeing blocking as weak is just not cool. Blocking can help. I block some stuff too, but very rarely.

That was the yoke.
