I've seen every popular blocklist on twitter and even simple labeling devices like shinigami eyes wind up used to silence innocent minorities who got too mouthy for the maintainer so please keep that in mind when people say they don't trust blocklists. It's not because they "like the bad people", it's because they always inevitably go off the rails and become weaponized against the people they're meant to protect and basically never have any oversight or recourse
As always, There's no silver bullet, no quick fix, no one size fits all answer.
Anyone telling you they have an easy answer for all scenarios is a fool or liar.
Giving some third party with no oversight absolute control over who you are able to interact with is a recipe for disaster. It's better to wait for a problem and deal with it there and then on a case by case basis with the relevant context than to try and proactively prevent possible issues.
