Ultimately, it's your choice. But as a protocol we should be pushing for a change in user expectations rather than trying to reinvent Twitter. I first learned this when I joined Gab, and everyone said "Learn to use the BLOCK and MUTE buttons". If what we really want is freedom, then users should understand that this is a different way to engage.

This of course requires thick skin, and in order to grow we will need to adapt for the meeker among us. But that shouldn't be in the form of targeted blocklists based on specific users, specific keywords, specific domains, nor by some AI tool. It should be client-side settings like "hide posts from people I don't follow". Things that change the underlying rules of the client rather than the rules of what people can post.
