Serious question: Is the "blocking should be a last resort" thing an actual good-faith philosophy some people have? Or is it just something bad actors say because they are the most likely to get blocked? I had always assumed it was the latter...
yeah it is my philosophy on Twitter where I never had more than a few annoying replies from tiny accounts and even then it's mostly being grumpy and bickering rather than bad faith outrage
also as a Twitter group chat person Blocks are super annoying given their UI so I'm kinda opposed to them on the basis of GC Administration
