I try not to block actual criticism but things I've started pretty much automatically blocking to make Twitter usable: Snitch-tagging; "Oh you're surprised?" reply guys; People who respond to an article *I* wrote with a point made in the article as if I could have no idea.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1361678304793808897 …

I've never had a useful interaction with any of the above categories, and they are just cluttering up my mentions especially since others then respond to them, and it's an endless, pointless series of pings that hide any signal that may hide in my mentions.

I didn't tag someone already on Twitter myself? Yeah, I'm not an idiot, thank you. Immediate block if you tag them *in my mentions*. Go talk to them separately if you want. People wanting to start fights are not doing something healthy and life's too short.

Obviously there are objectively worse people on Twitter, but the "and that surprises you?" people are somehow uniquely bad.

Yeah, it's like the most annoying habits of thought wrapped up with the most annoying personality traits in one bundle. But I think they are a distinct small group so a lot of mileage from just immediately blocking them.
