@mathieucomandon@fosstodon.org @evan@cosocial.ca Well, say somebody is being obnoxious in your friend's replies, and so you want to know who this awful person is, and if they are always awful, or if they are only awful to your friend. To block or not to block, in a nutshell. When you get there you discover, say, four or five subtoots about your friend, as well as some pointless piling on about various people who, while really cool, have annoyed the internet recently.
