> if you don’t like something, block it

Well, unfortunately we aren't on the old internet though, are we? Before we talk about this approach we would need the tools to take timeline and personal content moderation in our own hands. This, however, isn't in the interest of Twitter, algorithmic timelines and ad/outrage shoveling in general and thus it probably won't happen.

I wouldn't even be surprised if excessive blocking would lead to your account getting flagged.

You are basically criticizing people for not building their own functional shack while all they have at their disposal is a bunch of timber of varying quality and merely a few rocks as "tools".
