I'm certain I'll be fine, and survive without flat Earthers, 5G-causes-COVID, and similar ilk. That's a critical lack of, ironically, critical thinking skills in windmill-type people that this Don Quixote instance considers not worth time nor nerves fighting with nor for.

And on the flip side, those same deplorables are saying the exact same thing about you.

At least everyone is happy.

Out of curiosity, how would you be seeing that on Twitter in the first place? The blocking need seems more like addressing a symptom, where the root problem is whatever system or algorithm showed you that stuff at all.
Right? I always hear this type of whining but every time I use Twitter I find cool projects and interesting discussion. The more mainstream threads are mostly noise and I don't pay a lot of mind to them. Many of the political shitposts are funny even if I disagree.
The flat earthers will also be fine, I guess...
But think of them
Or the Covid lab leak, or Biden’s son laptop.
