i have like 500 people in my Twitter block list :|
Why are you still on the website at all
To block people. Duh.
Lmao, of course. Silly me
If you want to follow artists and avoid all the right wing Nazis, 500 blocks is about the right number to keep your feed clear.
I personally block about 10,000 and comment vociferously on right wing threads, just so WatermElon Musk has to spend $$$ to present threads without my comments in the right-wing echo chamber. Block lists are fairly database-search intensive.
so its a hobby then
Well, I used to have a "real" account but now I only have the hobby account now. If he removes blocks, I might start up a bot army that replies to his every Xeet telling him what a stooge he is.
I had over 900 by the time I deleted my account. Twitter would have been unusable without the block feature for me.
