I recall taking a date to the lab I was working in as a grad student and realizing after we got there that none of it is terribly impressive if you don't know what any of it does. She was unimpressed despite my excitement about all of it.
I later married a different woman who actually was excited about our lab things despite not being a scientist and having no idea what our many beige boxes do.
If everyone on .world just blocked a handful of people, the issue would disappear. It's mostly a small number of shitheads using a common "enemy" for attention and power.
