Follow

Went through my user blocks to see who still needs to be blocked. I usually just mute, and presumably most blocks subsequently became :trollsplat: s.

Looks like the others have adjusted to the non-Twitter space and can be unblocked again.

… Except for one “influencer” whose only follow is Coso Status and who stopped posting a year ago, apparently realizing that addressing posts “to my followers” was a little silly when he had exactly two of them.

Oh, and he never, ever interacted with anyone else’s posts.

@EileenKCarpenter I went through a purge of mutes and blocks a while back (unless I specifically recalled some reason not to, or saw immediate flags in their recent posts). I think within 48 hours I had blocked most of them again.

I have been intending to go through and do another purge of my blocks, but I keep procrastinating, behind that.

@EileenKCarpenter I've just moved on to hard blocking. With mutes they can still see your posts, and they can respond, you just won't see their comments.

If I want you gone (speaking generally) I want you gone. I don't want to see you and don't want to interact with you ever again. It's like you ceased to exist.

Just how I want it.

@SentinelOfTruth
I mute a lot, people who just have different interests or whose posts are “Blue Wave” repetitive appeals to vote. No reason they shouldn't see my posts, and I do move the slider when I mute, so if they reply to me I can see it and reply back.

Mutes are an essential way Coso works, if it is to be scalable. The firehose moving too fast to read it makes it hard for current users to ever interact with new people.

@SentinelOfTruth
Blocks are to protect me from people who don’t post their disagreements respectfully, and as I said, they are all gone now.
