I wouldn’t block others if they said something I didn’t like. I would only block others if they were bullying me or harassing me. I don’t have very many users on my ignore list, and I don’t think it’s going to get any larger. In fact, I’m not even ignoring any user who’s been active as of recently. I don’t like using this feature.
I remember ignore-shaming other users if I found out that they were blocking me, and that got me in even bigger trouble. I learned it’s best to move on than focus on one or few members who are blocking me. There’s a verse in the Bible about this.
