I guess everyone Garry has blocked on Twitter will not be applying to YC any time soon :)

Twitter has been a tough one - I got involved in local politics which has been a challenge. Large accounts typically do have to block a lot to make it usable, and in particular I've had problems with folks doxxing my former home address (I had to sell that house and move), and making threats of violence against me.

I'm sorry if I got it wrong, and I am happy to unblock if I did get it wrong.

The fact that you've got countless people who have never heard of you blocked, would seem to indicate that you have in fact got it wrong.

I don’t see what’s wrong about it. They are probably on some blocklist of low value reply guys.

No, I think he blocks anyone who likes a tweet that disagrees with him. Not necessarily people who are replying to him.

I really don't think he's that petty. Also, Twitter can be toxic as hell. He should block a lot of people if he wants to stay sane while using it.

He is 100% that petty. He literally mass blocks people who have simply liked or followed anyone he disagrees with, no interaction. Not an exaggeration at all.

If you read his post above, he stated that he was being threatened and doxxed. I'm sure he was dragged down by a lot of negativity on Twitter so mass blocking seemed like a decent strategy.

I don't have a problem with him blocking people on Twitter at all. I actually sympathize with him. Twitter is a troll fest and he exposed his real self by getting involved in local politics. You know how "passionate" people can get when it comes to politics.

My problem with Garry isn't with his "pettiness" or Twitter blocking. It's solely with his crypto shilling.

Like with the crypto shilling, he's full of shit.
