What puzzles me, though, is the people who post sentiments like this one minute and then participate in "who are you most proud of getting blocked by on Twitter" threads the next.
This is the culture that JD Vance comes from. The first person to say “you know what, this isn’t worth it” loses. It’s misguided and goofy and only serves to make them feel important.
I want a "Block" button right next to the "Follow" one when I hover over the handle, saves me going to the account, dropping down the menu, selecting block then confirm
I'm not stupid, if I click block, I MEAN BLOCK!
Just do it
@pfrazee.com having a Block Button next to the Follow would be REALLY useful in lists of people's followers/following,
as well as having block/mute either in the hover or the "..." menu.
Exactly, we have emerged a culture where the nuclear block is part of the process, instantiating that in the code would help reinforce it and make it REALLY clear to trolls and groifters that they can effortlessly be kicked to the kerb in a heartbeat for bad behaviour
the perception that blocking is illegitimate is one of the most absurd intuitions people have on the internet. Imma block you for just being mildly annoying don't be surprised I would also block you for being a nazi
People are so obsessed with their online presence and hold clout so sacred on one hand, while maintaining their right to be a total a-hole troll on the other. I have no problem saying buh bye I owe you nothing, dear stranger.
