I've decided to go against my longstanding position against blocking/muting people I've maintained on social media for over a decade. Ad hominem trolling = Mute.

Does that mean you’re going to start or stop?

I'm starting to mute people.

He wanna start blocking.

Seems sane to me. Congrats on the paradigm shift.

Yeah. I don't know why I didn't do it before. Not being exposed to Twitter trolls for a month now has increased my faith in humanity ten fold.

bro, muting is so good.

I’ll argue with my kids in the weekend instead 😆

It’s a good exercise not getting into useless arguments and fights though.

I never got the twitter bug, but I tend to curate social media the same way I do human interactions in general. I don’t need to encounter everyone and just because I don’t give some folks access to my attention isn’t necessarily a comment on their value as humans.

I have enough channels/social access points/human variety in my life to keep me honest. Faith in humanity outweighs the rest of it for me.
