I was just mentioning that to my partner lol. If someone has a bad enough take on a subject, I just remove that interaction, and make sure I don’t think about their opinions anymore. I’m sure some people will say that I’m not open-minded enough and shouldn’t block people with other views but I don’t have that kind of time, and I don’t feel like making it my problem.
I mostly block people with egregiously bad-faith takes. I like an internet argument when at least one side is providing sources or well-reasoned arguments, it’s an opportunity to learn, but when someone is just barely disguising their bigotry while “just asking questions” I’d just rather not see them ever again.
