Ah great, so Apple won. They have a gynormus mass of imbeciles addicted to a logo. Good to know.
Consider yourself lucky, I pay around 100 euros for a 100Mb wich does not even reach 40 in download at times. (Italy)
Wikipedia is extremely functional and convenient, but there are instances where it can be inaccurate. I wouldn't recommend it for accademic research, better stick to first hand information, like books from researchers and historians. But for casual learning of words and concepts, there's no harm in using it.
Hope to be helpful.
The abuse of the block feature is a problem yes, I too was a victim of "you're wrong I'm right shut up blocked".
But blocking can be useful too: if you disgrace someone and their posts? you can block them, someone is arrasing you? you can block them. (Arrassing post/comments wise, on private messages block will remain)
An issue can be fix by not removing the feature itself, like reporting miss information.
Regarding of the mute, is not exactly the same: if I mute someone, that someone can still comment under my posts, wich is the main reson I used to use the block, for not having imbeciles who thinks I'm an alien in the comment section.
I think the way twitter block used to work was a sword with two blades, useful in many cases but easily abusible.
