Actually, shared blocklists originated in the desire to avoid harassment. You can make a case for that being group think if you like, but I doubt you'll convince me.

I think your statement is the very definition of group think.

One person makes a blocklist and everyone else blindly adopts it.

Many people make block lists. And asserting people adopt them blindly is begging the question.

If this answer is satire, it is very clever.

In practice, shared blocklists are not utilized to stop harassment, they are utilized to enforce ideological conformity and lack of critical-thinking
