Things I'm tempted to block people for as I get ever further from the perfect number of followers (3000). A thread that I'm afraid will be ongoing:

Block people who reply "no" or "you're wrong" with no further comment.

Block people who reply to a Twitter poll with something that boils down to "why didn't you have a fifth option?"

Block people who reply to a Twitter poll with something that boils down to "your poll results are worthless because you're only surveying people who are on Twitter".

Block people who QT a subtweet with a snitch-tag of the presumed target, especially if that target is a large account with a propensity for beefs and bellicose followers.

Block people who reply with an attack or criticism and then QT when you don't engage with them. I saw it the first time, asshole.

Block people who reply or QT with a comment like "hope you don't get cancelled for this!" or "this will piss off some people!" This is just bringing trouble down on the OP while pretending to be friendly and concerned.

Gentle reminder: we need to talk about how some of you haven't been blocked enough for claiming you can't believe you have to shout your unpopular opinion from the rooftops and it shows, but y'all ain't ready for that conversation. This isn't a good look.

Block people who reply "blocked" or "muted".

Even if you spelled out several explicit rules for blocking, block some people who broke none of the rules based on vibe to prevent your legibility from being exploited by assholes who go right up to the boundary to see what they can get away with.
