I need to add to this that blocking is not the answer. Actively down vote if your instance allows. The practices discussed here passively harm artists.

    I don’t like Beep’s opinions, or stealing, so have blocked him/her, problem solved

      I get it, but doesn’t that way of thinking naturally lead to echo chambers and yes-manning? It’s better to clean the well rather complaining when we get dirt in our water.

        There are a lot of people on lemmy I disagree with, and have not blocked. I believe his opinions aren’t just wrong, but immoral. I will not continue to engage with people I find immoral. Will engage with people that don’t agree to me that aren’t immoral. My reply was descriptive, not prescriptive. No one should, or probably would, do something because I say so, just reminding folks it’s an option.
