To block or not to block [I Had Lego Blocks]

I’ve never blocked anyone before. I don’t like the idea of shutting out people or closing off opposing points of view, but I am wondering if it would make my experience here a little more enjoyable. I dislike some of the negative posts that offer no redeeming qualities.
Your thoughts, pros and cons of blocking?

I'm not one for over insulating myself from the world or reality. But when it's utter vulgar trash, rude and crude, I block. I don't subject myself to it in RL so I won't here either.

I use mute more because I don't want to shut them out entirely as they don't always have repetitive annoying mindlessness.

@Magenta the block/mute function does serve as insulation, a barrier to protect your space and time here, so I can see why you would use it. It’s a luxury we don’t always have available to us irl
