People should have the right to control the information flow to themselves in such a platform, for any reason they want. Neither you nor me nor anybody is owed any attention by OP or anyone. Attention is a personal resource and it is not owed to anybody. Having a platform that actually facilitates this level of control is amazing. As much as I am for the freedom of speech and expression in these platforms, I am also for the freedom of deciding whether one wants to be subjected or not to somebody else's expression, and both are irrespective to how I feel about the specific speech or expression or reasons behind any of these.

I am highlighting the problem with relying on lists, rather than making an informed decision individually. Of course, there is convenience in that, and everyone should do whatever they want. However, BS is very quickly becoming an echo-chamber worse than Reddit.

This is kind of true, I do not like either the block lists or the follow lists, also because it is not that hard to just block the occasional person I do not want to see in my feeds. But if it was harder for me to block on person basis, eg if it is too many ppl to block, I would rather rely on lists like that.

You do have to consider the provenance of the lists, of course.
