This, I can only agree with. It's there to flag abuse, it's not there to abuse.
There are many other options. Speak to the person, maybe try to level with them. Ignore it, move on. Mute button for instances of constant annoyance. I usually do it in that order. We're not obligated to be nice. Being reasonable should be enough.
Indeed, this is a social media platform. Some people are going to make things you like, and some will make things you hate. Ignore what you don't like and focus on what you do. It's not hard to treat others with a modicum of respect and let them do their thing so long as its not abusive. Keep on keepin' on man and have a good night.
