> so disagreement tends to result in a block

And the issue is bigger than it looks since blocking is public, so blocking gets you on lists of users to block so you'll be blocked by people you never interacted with for blocking/disagreeing with someone.

I don't know that I really want to interact with anyone who uses a block list like that, but it definitely would make echo chambers worse.
