Twitter is meant to be fun for everyone but some people always find a way to ruin this. That is why the company allows users to block other users they do not want to interact with. Up until yesterday, only you could see the list of people you were blocking. This was all fine but just like everything else, it could be made better.
That is why Twitter made it possible for users to export their block lists to their friends. This will make it easier for users to block spam and abusive accounts that make the Twitter experience unbearable.
In a statement, Twitter said,
“While many users find [mute and block] useful, we also recognize that some users — those who experience high volumes of unwanted interactions on Twitter — need more sophisticated tools. That’s where this new feature comes in […] We also hope these advanced blocking tools will prove useful to the developer community to further improve users’ experience.”
When the block list is exported, the user who receives it can copy it and easily block all users on the list. This makes the process quick and easy for those who get a lot of interactions in form of abuses from certain accounts. Hopefully this helps those who have always has haters on Twitter.
