Block early, block often is my motto on social media

@ZiaMacPine that’s probably what I’ll miss most from Twitter.

While stuck in various medical settings for hours upon hours, I began blocking:

1) every every bigot I found from shitty US conservatives who just don’t care to blatant euro-neo nazis.

2) people who continued interacting with (1) despite it being WELL known how (1) the ones were

So when I met furries in random streams or online, I could just quickly check to see if they were bad people to avoid (by seeing if I had blocked them).

@artfulreggie I will admit I was far more arbitrary in my blocking. If the algorithm recommended people to follow I would block them for instance. Still it sounds like a filtering system that worked well for you
