I am blocked from seeing paulg's tweets, despite having never interacted with him. Perhaps the next Twitter won't arbitrarily prevent me from seeing some of its content for opaque reasons (and especially not in a way that makes it seem as though I've done something wrong, without telling me what that thing is).
That seems like a good feature for the next Twitter.
I think we fail to appreciate just how weird this feature is. Presumably, paulg at some point saw some comment of mine that he didn't like. At this point he had three choices: 1) ignore it; 2) mute me, thereby preventing my idiotic words from ever reaching his eyes again; or 3) click a button that prevents me from ever seeing his thoughts.
Wait, what? What is this crazy third option?
- EvilTerran 9y agoThere's a bug (at least on mobile) that makes the "you are not authorized to view these tweets" message sometimes appear when it shouldn't. Have you tried reloading the page a couple of times? (I'm guessing there's some authorization API endpoint that's slightly unreliable and "fails closed".)
