I don't run any block lists, but I block if I see you being an asshole to my friends. I have friends in weird places. So you may find yourself blocked for any number of exciting reasons, including "name-calling," "random accusations," and my personal favorite, "being a jerk."
It is not censorship for me or any other non-governmental figure to block you. Despite the beliefs of the nice man I blocked for sharing his views on Gwen Stacy's probable sex life, complete with screenshots from his favorite porn films, I am not a public service. I can curate.
People block me all the time, and I will often never know why! I had a reader with whom I had previously had a pleasant relationship block me for asking them not to use the term "Mary Sue"! No one is being censored in these exchanges!
I'd prefer not to be blocked, sure. I like to think of myself as a reasonable person who doesn't give cause for blocking. But your social media experience is your own, and should be managed accordingly.
