Why do you care if I read your stuff that’s public on the Internet, surely we should all be trying to understand each other’s point of view more not less?

To prevent context collapse. Some people are unable to understand what I say and take offence. That could be because of the way I'm saying it or because of them. Either way, I don't care. I would like to expend energy on my audience. Ideally, I can talk to my audience and to no one else.

Great, make your account private then… or do you want all the benefits of a completely public account without any of the costs? I’m not suggesting blocked people should be able to interact with your content, just that they can still read it. This applies especially to information being disseminated by government.

I mean, I could just as well say "Log out of your account then". That will negate the effect of the block.
