Not having blocks means
- trolls reply unseen and imply they've "won" an argument with the last word
- on Twitter/x I thought mute was for a thread, not a person? If the former then it means users get more uncontrollable ad spam
#Mute and #block is a tough one for me.
What would some potential (be honest) trade offs be with not having blocks, worse case scenario?
And yes I understand there’s no blocking on #nostr, but this debate is now spilling over to twitter which has increased issues of magnitude with these types of discussions.

Only the troll will think they've won if you stop engaging with them. If they are really a troll than most observers will recognize that they are not worth engaging with.
