> BlueSky’s *highly effective blocking tools*, and even Twitter/X’s community notes feature, which often bridges cross-partisan divides, provide useful examples of possible solutions, if judiciously applied.

So we have blocking versus openly pointing out what's wrong with something. People do like censorship, alright.

You still have the right to speak.

You don't have the right to an audience.

I think the way blocking gets used and then bragged about to the personal bubble on BS (I wouldn't know about Twitter) is kind of pathetic, but at the same time, I do not mind getting blocked, or put on any of those shitlists, because that leaves me with the people who are either insane, kinda cool, or both.

I have a right to my own eyes and ears. It's not censorship to block trolls that I don't like.

And yet I bet you leave your spam filter on instead of explaining to the spam what's wrong with it.
