Re: Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts
#262I'd like to be able to unblock people. An unblock all would be nice to get back to baseline. A while back I blocked everyone that followed a specific user that kept appearing in my feed (this was prior to the musk acquisition where you can view accounts you follow explicitly which is nice). This was around 50k people (it did make a noticeable difference). The unblock is broken though - I was able to unblock maybe 1k,…
Your unblocking is rate limited, just as blocking is now. They keep changing the rate limit, but at one point it was 100/day. Unblocking en masse is possible with a chrome extension but you'll have to run it multiple times over days.

#263I'm not on Twitter but in its current form, wouldn't a blocked user be able to see the blocker's posts just by using an incognito window or logging in as a different account?
Yes. It's always been a stupid, petulant implementation, and its widespread acceptance is confusing.
No, they changed that ages ago.

#264you could have always signed out to view the posts so?
No, you can't browse posts without being logged in.

#265I always thought this was a stupid restriction. You can't view the post while authenticated but you can view the post while unauthenticated.

#266Earlier quoted context omitted.
To be fair, you can barely view any post while unauthenticated these days. Sometimes I click on a link to a tweet on my work laptop (where I'm not authenticated) and I get immediately assaulted by several pop-ups and cookie bars and redirected to the landing page when try to dismiss them.
I have given up trying to view content unauthenticated, I used to be able to close the popups but now I get redirected to a login when I do.

Same. I’ve accidentally made it 18 years without creating a Twitter account and there’s no content compelling enough for me to want to break my streak.

#268In this thread you can really tell who gets blocked on twitter a lot and are upset about it.

It might look like this, but thinking about it, I guess it's still useful in reducing unwanted interactions. People are lazy, and thus adding even a little friction can help a lot in preventing them from doing stalkering, spreading hate etc. I.e. of course it's possible to login with another user, find the one who blocked you, make a screenshot or something and then quote it or perform any other interaction in your m…
Isn't it a bit weird that a person can share a screenshot of a tweet by an account that has blocked them?
It shouldn't be that hard to check if an image looks like a tweet and, if it does, find out the exact match.
