This is the same when people message a youtuber and expect some reply - they can't see the hundreds and thousands of messages people get and still need to produce youtube content (or organize a conference) - "I can deal with the mails I get, why can't they?"

#32Personally I'd walk away, life is too short to care about why a twitter user blocked you. But seeing as this is in the EU, the author could use the GDPR to find out why he was banned.
Out of curiosity, what part of the GDPR would require them to explain the ban-reason?

Might not be "on purpose", OP might just be getting caught in some blocklist crossfire. It happened in a very similar way for a different conference here: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/twi... If they're in the middle of a Twitter dogpile, they probably wouldn't care too much about one particular guy on a blocklist if several hundred sockpuppet accounts organising on 4chan are all sending th…

#36You either follow an account that has been banned, or the accounts you follow themselves follow accounts that have been banned. In the other direction, an account that follows you has been banned or they follow accounts that have been banned. @jsconfeu probably use some of the popular lists.

They probably have personal data / personal identifiable information about you when they blocked you and still know about it ... And you can ask them what data they have about you.

#39When you have an international group of people all speaking English as a second language the conversation can become a bit prickly. There isn't anything obvious here - a bit of complaining but it all seems mild and accurate: https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=%40jsconfeu%20from%3A0ndras&... Purely guessing here, you might want to avoid tweeting "Stupid fucking white man" at conference organisers. https://twitter.com/0nd…

Agreed with the language. It’s a constant stream of fussy complaints, and as unfair as it sounds, I would have probably blocked them too after years of the same.
