Someone just asked me why I block some people and don't mute. For me, mute is about when I mostly like someone's content, but for a moment, thye are posting things that are either just not of interest or are just a lot. When you spout rhetoric that goes against everything I believe in, I don't want to chance seeing it. I am a full believer in your feed is what you make of it. Some people come here and feel really low because of the things they read. Most days I don't feel like that. Because over the past few years, I've been fighting to rid my timelines of extremist views, from either side. And if an account does nothing but send hate toward a person instead of disagreement with ideology, I just don't have time for it. And someone said, well, some of the people that repost that you block, you don't always even interact with so why follow them. The reason is, some of them have interesting things to say about tech, music, or something else. It all comes down to how much of their political feed is them reposting stuff or how much is really them. Most of it is just reposting other people's hate.
