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.
If I didn’t use the platform to also read the news and just talked about games or looked at memes, I might do the same. But I’m not going to block instances of “Trump” or “Vance” or “Musk” because knowing what those fuckwads are doing is kind of important.
Blocking assholes being assholes is one thing; blocking someone who isn’t being an asshole but simply disagrees with you is another.
Put it in the frame of real life. Are you going to totally cut off a family member or friend just because they said 1 minor thing you don’t agree with?
I’m struggling, I want to keep informed, but I have realized that seeing this stuff day in and day out while I’m trying to look for a job has really affected my overall mood and I’m afraid that is why I’m not getting callbacks.
