When I returned to Medium, after the first debacle, I resolved to avoid controversial subjects, avoid commenting on comments, avoid toxic people, and block no one. So far it has worked for me. As far as I know I am only blocked by one person, a person I never had any contact with, so I don’t even know why. I have to admit, as a poet, my posts just don’t draw the kind of fire many others do. And that’s just alright with me. :)
