Okay, I muted both @midnight and tonight's hashtag, but they're still showing up in my feed. Does tweetbot even work?
― polyphonic, Thursday, 14 November 2013 06:20 (ten years ago) link
Yes, but it doesn't mute retrospectively.

Every time I log in I'm following 30 new people that I've never heard of. Wtf? I've already changed my password.

changing your password doesn't revoke applications you've granted access to, you'll have to do that as well

ohhhhhh my god this change to blocking. why would you do that!

can someone explain? ^ this is all i'm hearing about it but no one links to any info

https://support.twitter.com/articles/117063-blocking-users-on-twitter
Note: If your account is public, blocking a user does not prevent that user from following you, interacting with your Tweets, or receiving your updates in their timeline. If your Tweets are protected, blocking the user will cause them to unfollow you.

why because engineers are dumb
the general thinking is "if it's technically possible, when even try to stop it?"
facepalm
― eris bueller (lukas), Thursday, 12 December 2013 23:30 (ten years ago) link
when even try -> why even try
Twitter's current party line is that this is good because now people won't know they've been blocked, so they won't get all mad
so just make Block and Ignore separate options, cmon

I don't block, but I used Tweetbot's mute function all the time. (worth it on it's own)

Yes!

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?
― lex pretend, Friday, 13 December 2013 14:37 (ten years ago) link
I've never been sent anything beyond polite disagreement, but the rapey Twit abuse received by some feminists of my acquaintance is staggering.
― hatcat marnell (suzy), Friday, 13 December 2013 14:56 (ten years ago) link
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.

― 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!

― 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
