Social Media tip:
The people who tell you "don't block" are mostly gonna be the people wanting to troll you or people of privilege. Maybe - just maybe they might be people who think you can politely debate people who aren't interested in debate.
BUT, believe them when they say "Don't behave on social media like you wouldn't in real life". But they're saying it to try to guilt you into doing the opposite. You gonna stand in the street and politely engage when a total stranger walks up to you and starts harassing you or abusing you? No, do what you'd do in real life: get out of that situation as quickly as possible for your physical and mental health.
Block and block frequently. You have better things to do in your life than try to be accountable to strangers who hold you in contempt.
