Some wingnut I've never spoken to before (or again (foreshadowing!)) accused me of living in an "echo chamber" because I block people.
Fuck the "echo chamber" discourse. I reject it entirely.I am not here to wear an ascetic's hair shirt because you think that surrounding myself with dickheads builds character.
Block early and block often. I expanded on this in some detail in my "On Blocking" post from a few years back, but it bears repeating. Especially now.
@jwz One of the takes I repeated constantly when I was still on Usenet. There is no obligation to consume others’ postings any more than there is an obligation to watch specific TV shows

There is no chance that you will miss something important in The Discourse. None.
