Learned a bunch about shared block lists and unintended consequences & harms. @unblock_list follows folks "accidentally / maliciously added to various block lists." See: https://twitter.com/unblock_list/following Look for red "Blocked" buttons, and Unblock them. Fortunately I wasn’t blocking anyone there; never used shared block lists. Avoid shared block lists as the potential for harm is much higher than good. I have manually blocked 13,329 accounts, mostly for spam, hate/bots, but also years ago for @t mismentions like instead of "at", @-alphabet spams, and "sh@t" mentions. If I blocked you and none of those apply to you, please reach out to me through a mutual friend or tantek.com/contact and let me know!
