Spend enough time in the comments and you’ll notice a handful of “usual suspects” sticking out. So I’ll usually look at their profiles to see their history. If a pattern emerges, block them.

They’re usually ones that immediately jump to extremes, make bad faith comparisons right off the bat, or otherwise Godwin’s Law a comment thread between 0 and 1 replies in.

If it’s really only that few people I wish the mods/admins were just slightly more ban-happy

Genuine question: Is there a part of you that fears that by blocking dissenting voices, you may be reinforcing your filter bubble?

There’s dissent and then there’s concern trolling and preventing meaningful discourse. So no. I don’t block people who disagree with me. Just those who refuse to let others have meaningful discussion by jumping into every comment thread and derailing the conversation.
