In the real world, you don't say something like "I wish people wouldn't post AI content" and then have all these strangers suddenly appear.
My criteria for blocking are high - generally, the person either has to say something that would start a fight in a bar, or tell gross lies ("COVID is a hoax, the climate crisis is a hoax", etc) in an aggressive fashion.
As a cryptocurrency and AI skeptic, I've gotten an awful lot of rudeness.

In both cases, crypto and AI, I feel that both the technology is flawed, and the consequent costs to almost everyone but 0.1% richest humans are incredibly high and do not outweigh the value.
Given that we needed to decrease our CO2 90% by now, and instead it continues to increase exponentially, both technologies feel like ecological suicide, too.
