  > when your blocking action has no meaningful difference to the new people that will take their place The rate of new users who don't subscribe to twitter blue will likely remain a much higher fraction than those that do, so if blocking them improves the experience, then rigging up an automatic block seems like a fairly low effort way to tidy things up. Naturally, you'll end up blocking a large amount of cryptobro posters due to the obvious overlap with Elon's supporter audience, which may be beneficial or detrimental depending on what communities you prefer. You can also simply hide all bluecheck posts with a ublock filter or a userscript, but that's more of a blunt hammer solution, and a bit janky depending on how new tweet loading and infinite scroll is working that day.

  Having a very simple heuristic to block annoying people is a convenience, I would’ve thought. I’ve given up on Twitter myself, but I expect I’d do this if I was still on it; you don’t want those people in your replies.
