You've made many incorrect assumptions and setup several strawmen fallacies. Rather than try to converse with someone who is only looking to feed their confirmation bias, I'll suggest you continue your learnings by looking up the Dunning Kruger effect.
EDIT: now I understand. After going through your comments, I can see that you just claim confirmation bias rather than actually having to support your own arguments. Ironic that you seem to show all of this erudition in your comments, but as soon as anyone questions your beliefs, you just resort to logical buzzwords. The literal definition of the bias you claim to find. Tragic. Blocked.
Blocking individual on Lemmy is actually quite pointless as they still can reply to your comments and posts you just will not know about it while there can be whole pages long slander about you right under your nose
I’d say it’s by design to spread tankie propaganda unabated
Blocking means that you don't have to devote your time and thoughts to that person. That's pretty valuable. And even if they decide they are going to attack you, not-responding is often a good strategy vs that kind of crap anyway - to avoid getting pulled into an endless bad-faith argument. (I'd still suggest not announcing that you've blocked them though. Just block and forget about it.)
Maybe but it’s like putting your head in the sand here. You actually restrict yourself by doing it and not the other way around. Benefits are dubious
