Can’t see that either :D

I’ll often scroll through replies and preemptively block accounts that demonstrate behavior I don’t want in my social media experience. I imagine others must do the same with accounts that have liked certain posts.

gotta make sure that echo chamber only gets echoes, eh?

> behavior

Personally I aim to filter out trolling, derision, shallow joking and repetition games, and uncharitable interpretation.

Your dedication to blocking every account you come across is admirable, at least.

Sounds a bit fruitless unless you read from a small circle of accounts. How much time do you spend on that, and how often would you say you’re rewarded by seeing a pre-blocked post outside of your blocking time?

Single-user Mastodon instance following approximately 100 accounts with third-party replies via FediFetcher, estimated cost of blocking 10 seconds per day, benefit unmeasured.

Ah, Mastodon would be manageable. I thought you were on Twitter doing this.

Likely because you’re an “X Premium” user.
