Every day, I see absolutely moronic comments getting upvoted while perfectly reasonable takes are downvoted. This would be a great opportunity to curate your feed by blocking these users en masse. Active curation like this is the only way to make social media even half-tolerable.

Whether you use it to filter out toxic users or to build an echo chamber, I think everyone should be free to do so. No one should be forced to share space with people they feel bring no value to the discussion - or, worse, make it more toxic.

    At least you postet this in the right community.

    I assume you aren’t trolling, so here is what will happen when implemented: After about two weeks you will have blocked everyone who isn’t you, your alt accounts or a bot.

    “Creating an echo chamber” is said a lot when people talk about blocking, banning and defederating. Sometimes it is justified, sometimes it’s utter bullshit. What you suggest, blocking people because you don’t like how they vote, is beyond bonkers. And I say this as someone who at times can be quite trigger happy with the block feature.

    PS: “Everyone but me is a moron” is the mark of the moron.
