I’m not sure how anyone can say this when he’s notorious for blocking thousands and thousands of people on Twitter/X for the smallest perceived critique, including people who have never interacted with him at all because they engaged with some tweet he didn’t like
The only kind of person who’d ever go that far is someone with a very fragile ego
- jncfhnb 3y agoWhy? What’s wrong with blocking strangers you deem annoying?
- tempsy 3y agoHe expects everyone else to take heat from him but can’t handle the tiniest bit of criticism direct at him It’s a bit rich
- HKH2 3y agoSo block him?
- jncfhnb 3y agoDoes he really expect people to take heat from him?
- unsupp0rted 3y agoIf anything, people who rant on social media expect to be ignored or blocked. They wouldn’t rant like that in real life on a bus with a captive audience.
- darkwizard42 3y agoI’ll never get this. He doesn’t owe those people anything. Just because you start talking doesn’t give everyone the right to listen, just because someone is talking doesn’t require you to listen… If anything this is healthy.
- willvarfar 3y agoSo he sees someone interacting with some other tweet in a way he doesn't like, and then blocks them from following him? Having not used twitter, is this easy one-click thing that takes no time nor thought, or is he having to switch screens and spend time on doing this? (Technically I became a twit yesterday because nitter stopped working and there is just one person's posts that I like to check up on, so I ended up giving in and logging in... :( But I still don't know the UI well enough to answer my own question :) )
- iSnow 3y agoIt's like two clicks/taps. But still, it is telling if you block most everyone who engages in a way you don't approve
- StackRanker3000 3y agoThere are also tools that allow you to block everyone who’s liked a tweet, everyone who follows a particular person, etc. I don’t know if Garry Tan uses such a tool, but maybe he does.
