@thekitmalone I usually find that if I like something, it's also worth boosting, so I have no problem doing both! Not always, but very often. I've noticed most people do the same for me.
As for blocking, my rule has always been that if I'm just not interested in what someone says or if I never interact with them, I unfollow. If they're harassing me or a friend, then I block. On Twitter I would send them a message telling them just what I thought of them first, lol, but here I don't think I will.
