I don't mute or block anyone who has a different opinion or even disagree about facts. It's more of how they respond that determines if I bother to open the toolbox.
@MrGoat Agree. I save mute and block for someone really disagreeable, and generally I don't interact with anybody that bad to begin with so it rarely comes up. Choosing not to follow someone who's merely annoying is plenty good enough
