Point taken. It's messy.

You could even say that simply replying "the Earth is round" is harassment if it's repeatedly targeted at an individual or flat earthers as a group. But this is what the block or mute button is for. Everyone has the right to curate what they hear or see. They don't have the right to curate what I or you hear or see.

Silencing "the Earth is round" at the platform level for everyone is where it becomes objectionable.
