There is nothing wrong with protecting your sanity. Why would you want to be exposed to vile nonsense, you're not going to read breitbart forums in your spare time are you? Like... You're the only one looking out for you online. The platforms are just trying to turn your participation into profit.

Nonsense, if you have to block them, you confirm they exist.

It is not like they get automatically blocked by some form of algorithm.
