I’m kinda having hard time understanding this. Bypassing blocks in Twitter was always so trivial, essentially same as mute. Just open the profile on another account or incognito.

Official twitter app even supports multiple accounts by default.

Only way to actually prevent unwanted people from interacting with you was to make your profile private so you can approve every follower individually.

Exactly. If someone wants to see your public tweets, they will no matter how blocked they are. It’s a mountain out of a mole hill. When account creation is free and without restriction people will abuse it.

As long as mute exists that’s all that’s needed.

a big reason to have block is so that you can’t get quote tweeted by a much bigger account. if you block them, they can’t put you on blast. even though they can circumvent the block with a different account, it won’t have as much reach.

Create post

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

  • Personal appearance (“You’re fat”, “You’re ugly”)
  • Posts with little-to-no context
  • Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
  • Dick jokes, “Yo mama”, “No, you” type responses and other low effort insults
  • “Your values are bad” without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong (“I believe in capitalism” - “Well, then you must be evil” or “Fuck you you ignorant asshole”)

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
