We're bringing back the "block" in Block Party... (re-)introducing mass-blocking on X (formerly Twitter). 💥💥💥 Select tweet, block retweeters 💥💥💥
People begged us to build this tool for old Block Party because of targeted harassment from high-profile right-wing personalities who would tag them in noxious tweets and sic their followers on them. The more those tweets got RTed, the more intense the harassment would get. Being able to cut off those attacks quickly, at the source, helped a ton to reduce the eventual reach and impact of those abuse campaigns.
After we introduced it, though, we saw lots of people using the tool not necessarily to stop harassment, but as a way to clean up their feeds. Particularly when toxic political content was making the rounds, it was a good way to remove a lot of (let's call it) unproductive discourse from the timeline.

1moHow could a democracy block or ban use of social media platforms? Isn't this a clear message being sent across that freedom of speech has no value or fundamental rights of citizens are being shunned. Sham democracy will not prvail much longer.
