I have used the fooked button a few times on AU to remove a spammer. Hardly ever blocked anyone. Occasionally pine for a mute; the odd person still tries to get attention by mentioning lots of "notable" accounts in a post. If they keep doing it, I just block. Emotionally AU is easy peasy to be on. The vibe is high and those who speak from ego just don't find a receptive audience, so stay away. Hold the reader's interest in mind, and only hit "publish" if there's value to them.
The jury is still out on TS. It may take the cultural shock of the Great Awakening (and mass awareness of media brainwashing, genetic poisoning, slave masters, etc) to get people to behave differently. Initially it will get much worse as scared and upset people tend not to be polite people. It's like we're all at different consciousness levels, and you should only try to interface with adjacencies, not jump levels.
i dont post much here but saw.ypurs obvs for a reason...i do bear in mind what one considers holding a readers interest wont be for all but is still considered 'of interest' to the person publishing and therefore possibly others. basically if you dont enjoy the content then you dont need to participate. we all finding our way, being kind and the compassionate at the forefront is what counts...someone posting a controversial response might be a cry for help that a gentle reply can be the salve for and, if jot, then the conversation can end there (for one or other or both parties.) We all get what we need after all 🙏
