- tjpnz 5y agoNot sure if it still exists but there was a tool which let you mass block accounts. I've got no idea what you needed to do to end up on one of the lists that shipped with it - but it seemed rather sketchy. I'm also not sure what would motivate someone to spend time on such a thing; Twitter is already enough of an echo chamber.
- Jcowell 5y agoOne use case is mass blocking anyone who likes a post or follows someone you find contrary to your views.
- markdown 5y agoWell, twitter (very fucking annoyingly) shows your tweets to people who don't follow you. So you don't have to interact with people in any way to annoy them.
- type_Ben_struct 5y agoThe simple solution to that is to turn on protected tweets.
- LordAtlas 5y agoIf you have a verified "blue tick" account, you could lose your blue tick if you do that.
- markdown 5y agoWill that stop me from seeing tweets from people I don't follow?
- type_Ben_struct 5y agoSadly not
- Markoff 5y agoYou don't need to interact with someone to get blocked, for instance, if I read discussion and saw people with facemasks, syringes, Ukrainian flag or emoji for other current trending thing I blocked these people, so I won't waste my time with reading their opinions in future and clean my experience at least from those obviously misguided people. But that was before I left Twitter wasting my time, now I just passively read few accounts through Nitter, rarely opening Tweet discussion and not interacting in any way anymore. I plan soon to do same thing with Reddit, both of these are in the end just waste of time.
