Block also blocks them from seeing your posts and responding to them. Which is valuable. I don’t want people to creep on my profile if I’ve blocked them.
I use mute to get people who tweet in the wrong language off my timeline.
I deleted my twitter so I guess it’s not my problem now
Fair enough. I never used the algorithm timeline that inserts strangers into your stream so that was never an issue for me. Just the people I follow, chronologically, for me. Whether I block them or not, people who really want to would still be able to read my tweets. Blocking them just gives them more acknowledgement than they deserve.
I haven’t deleted mine yet, but I only seldom check it. Left this video as a pinned post though, it might inspire some people to quit as well.
