You know, this is an example of the number one difference between here and Tumblr: this discussion of how blocking now functions is completely sensible and obvious to me; on Tumblr I literally never saw anyone articulating it, and on DW it's the first thing I see posted on the topic.

That sensation--never seeing moderate and sensible ideas, and also of seeing dumb extreme ideas shared as some kind of profound truth--was unbelievably common on Tumblr.
