As a YC alum who worked with Gary Tan directly, this is… odd.

Anyone who knows Gary knows he’s a (relatively) gentle human being. I can’t imagine him hurting a fly.

His tweets seem totally out of character compared to the Gary Tan I personally knew. Maybe he has changed?

I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I’m not sure how anyone can say this when he’s notorious for blocking thousands and thousands of people on Twitter/X for the smallest perceived critique, including people who have never interacted with him at all because they engaged with some tweet he didn’t like

The only kind of person who’d ever go that far is someone with a very fragile ego

So he sees someone interacting with some other tweet in a way he doesn't like, and then blocks them from following him?

Having not used twitter, is this easy one-click thing that takes no time nor thought, or is he having to switch screens and spend time on doing this?

(Technically I became a twit yesterday because nitter stopped working and there is just one person's posts that I like to check up on, so I ended up giving in and logging in... :( But I still don't know the UI well enough to answer my own question :) )

There are also tools that allow you to block everyone who’s liked a tweet, everyone who follows a particular person, etc. I don’t know if Garry Tan uses such a tool, but maybe he does.
