I was just thinking this earlier. The blocklists are all gone, and people have stopped blocking the bigots themselves, and just gone back to replying to them instead, putting them onto their followers’ skylines.

Had to unfollow accounts constantly replying to transphobes when their interaction alone is why they kept showing on my Twitter TL. I really don’t get the appeal to replying to so many in a day when it’s not good for your mental state as blocking and reporting them exists.

The blocklists are gone??

A Trans woman or non binary person, can't remember account, is looking at creating a focused labeler for transphobes. Some possible good news.

This is how I found out they were gone. So does that mean anyone on those lists that were blocked are now unblocked?

It's such a bad state of affairs. The temperature on the platform rose by a solid 10 degrees when Aegis' lists were deleted, because instead of volunteers quietly preventing people from seeing transphobic content, everyone sees everything now because there are no widely used block lists anymore.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The moment I stopped bothering to give bigots any attention--even to tell them to fuck off and die--and just blocked and reported, my social media experience improved drastically, as did my overall mental health. It's a genuine lifehack.

Wait the block lists are gone ??

Should we start over? Should we rebuild our community again?

Shit, what happened to aegis?! 😱

Absolute Twitter behaviour, thinking that interacting with the bigots more will somehow help.
