I keep getting blocked by the people where I agree with most of what they post, and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten blocked by the racist blogs. Apparently, I’m more offensive to the people where I disagree with one or two posts than the people where I despise their whole worldview.

ETA: There is a certain blogger I respect more than anyone else on Tumblr. One time, he reblogged a post criticizing pagans who thought COVID was a divine punishment for evil old people. I reacted even more negatively to the idea of COVID as divine punishment than he did, and he got mad at me because he thought I was being bigoted against pagans. Someday, he’s going to decide I’m irretrievably bigoted and block me, and I am going to be despondent.

I'm sorry that your discussion of My Little Pony resulted in you getting blocked. One thing I like about the My Little Pony Fandom is the wide array of fanons and interpretations and how they are generally appreciated in a live and let live atmosphere. So many wonders.

I imagine there’s some sort of selection effect involved

I don’t know what the racists who are not ok with interacting with people who disagree with them do, but I have to imagine you’re not going to find them unless you’re in some kind of dedicated space for racists, because the opinion “racists are wrong and evil” is so generally widespread you’d have a very restricted social network if you blocked everyone who held it.

I wonder if it's a social atmosphere sort of thing? We've been on blogs that had a sort of cage fight atmosphere where anything went, and others where disagreement or conflict of any kind was frowned on, and blocking strategies varied accordingly.
