npub1kpwlxpzkxfmuxjmzc2wp3rf9vjg0sgydmlhsnrgqr3maf59h86qqdxxzz4 (npub1kpw…xzz4) I don't know about that. You can't say something racist that I would consider polite, but it's perfectly possible for them to do it while not being deliberately offensive, it's just how they are. Doesn't mean I want to see it.

You can say that about anything - antivaxxers, for instance, if I've lost someone to Covid (and I have lost family members, though only fairly distant family) then I might consider that to be rude/upsetting, where again they weren't trying to be in-your-face about it or anything.

As for block vs. silence... isn't that just personal preference? I may be misunderstanding, but the effect on me is the same - I don't see their stuff. It's just down to whether I'm willing for them to see mine. It's vanishing unlikely they would, but I don't see why they should anyway, I just don't want to interact with them on any subject other than a polite and serious discussion as to how they became like they are and how it could be changed.
