So think twice before you tweet your idiotic “bropenscience is a slur” ideas into the wild. You’re summoning trolls to attack people you disagree with. Is that really what you want? Could that really be a clear sign that actually there is a huge problem with #bropenscience?https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1151791383168126976 …

Trickiness is that the blocked may want to get revenge on the blockees :S Perhaps could use statistics to identify real villains. Maybe an appeal process. Would lead to 'bubbles' / Homogeneity :S Would only consider making this if lots of people keen + collaborators :)

Typically the reason one blocks if one is from a vulnerable group is because they are already being harmed...
-
Totally agree. I like the idea of somehow auto-protecting such people from nastiness. Just mega tricky -- wise to chat with people as likely I'm missing facts.

It’s also tricky because some of these lists have like 30k+ people on them, one person maintains them and they concatenation (fancy word) several block lists without checking who is on them. And that’s how I’ve ended on several TERF lists.Some of which are maintained by academics

Yup, of course. When one person manages a list they can include both mistakes (slips) and personal vendettas.
