I think the only accounts I've ever blocked have been spambots, but it honestly never occurred to me that they would not be able to read my tweets as a result. I just wanted to get them off my screen.
― jaymc, Friday, 13 December 2013 14:25 (ten years ago) link
it never occurred to you that people might need to block abuse on twitter?
i mean, i've only blocked spambots and don't habitually receive abuse, but...it never occurred to you how commonplace that was?

I've never been sent anything beyond polite disagreement, but the rapey Twit abuse received by some feminists of my acquaintance is staggering.

who blocks the most people? Graham Linehan? He's a serial blocker, I think anyone who dares suggest that Count Arthur Strong/The IT Crowd aren't the pinnacle of comedy get blocked ASAP.

I was just thinking of him. We used to be friends, but I think if I met him 'fresh' now I wouldn't like him very much. He's turned into this rich white guy who throws hissies when people have the audacity to contradict him.

eh, he doesn't want to directly engage with people who diss his work. Sounds fair enough to me.
xp
― pandemic, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:10 (ten years ago) link
it's less about people dissing his work and more an unwillingness to be contradicted on any matter at all - i've never interacted with him or desired to but he comes across as insufferably pompous
― lex pretend, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:12 (ten years ago) link
okay, sorry I misunderstood.
― pandemic, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:13 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, does not respond well to being contradicted or corrected. If enough people told him to check his privilege at the same time, he might spontaneously combust in righteous liberal indignation!

wow everyone is super pumped for this surprise beyonce huh
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 December 2013 16:42 (ten years ago) link
tbh i always thought that's how blocking worked, that you never knew you were blocked and could tweet at someone who blocked you without them knowing, like a killfile. it seems kind of silly to prevent someone from following someone else, if they really want to stalk the person they can just make another account

what apps will let me mute retweets by specific retweeters, but not their own tweets
― (D1CK$) (sic), Thursday, 23 January 2014 14:51 (ten years ago) link
twitter.com lets you do that iirc

It does, and most apps should as well. Not sure if the official twitter app does though. Tweetbot certainly does.
― Jeff, Thursday, 23 January 2014 15:07 (ten years ago) link
is there a site/app that'll show up who i'm following but isn't following me? i think twitter karma or something used to do this but apparently doesn't anymore

But his assertion that he was forced off Twitter by "trolls" looks pretty over-egged when you realise that Stan Collymore will still be live-tweeting League 1 goal updates this weekend despite having been bombarded for years with disgusting racial slurs and death threats
