If anyone is interested, please look into Isaac Schlueter's twitter account at twitter.com/izs ( he is the current CEO of NPM ) In the past few weeks his Twitter feed has gotten progressively more incendiary. He now has blocked over 200k people on Twitter and basically declared a personal vendetta against the 30k subscribers to reddit's Node.js subreddit. This is a person who has over 10 million dollars in VC funding . I don't believe they are acting in the best interest of their investors, or the Node.js community as a whole.

I don't really see where he's being incendiary. Political sure, but just seems like an account for personal views . I couldn't find any reference to him blocking 200k people, or declaring a personal vendetta on a whole subreddit.

  Here is one of the statements he made about 30k members of /r/node not being part of the Node community: https://twitter.com/izs/status/911732466758516736 https://twitter.com/izs/status/911732466758516736. Be warned, it devolves into a long thread and rant. He's actually blocking 170,839 users at the moment. He often brags about it. see: https://blocktogether.org/show-blocks/c8XK_YKEO-bTsJBLIcSnJZdNKL7CTPRQfLVrHip6 https://blocktogether.org/show-blocks/c8XK_YKEO-bTsJBLIcSnJZ... https://imgur.com/a/TKykh https://imgur.com/a/TKykh

    How does one block that many people? Does twitter offer bulk blocking capabilities?

      At the height of the GamerGate debacle someone created an auto blocker that automatically blocked ppl on a list, it also blocked anyone who followed those ppl. So if, like me, you didn’t necessarily agree with the views of ppl on that list but followed them to get a sense of who they are and what perspective is, you got blocked right along with them.

        Blocking opinions you don't like is a stupid idea in general.
