I’ve gotten so quick with the block button and it feels great. My new thing is blocking anybody I don’t recognize who tweets at me some variation on “you’re wrong” without making any argument as to why. The best part is that their tweet disappears immediately from my mentions

I blocked three or four people just from the Seattle/Houston tweet alone! I’d like to imagine every one of them screenshot the block with some variation on “not so into the free market of ideas I guess”

I used to agonize over blocking people. If they follow me, I’d worry about losing followers. I’d search all their tweets at me to see if they’d ever tweeted anything worthwhile in the past. I’d mute instead of blocking. No more of that! Just block, block, block

(I still mute, but just the well-meaning reply guys)

I love this shit. "Wow, all I did was insinuate that because you want to bring European best practices to New York, you're in favor of forced labor! And now you don't want to interact with me anymore?!"
