Today I saw that an author I like had tweeted about something I care about, and I wanted to interact. So I signed up for an account, responded to their tweet, tweeted my own tweet, retweeted a couple things… and then noticed that the author’s automated block filter had blocked me, because with only one tweet and no profile pic it looked like an account solely created to harass people.

So I deleted the account.

A party that requires that sort of defense mechanisms isn’t a party that’s worth being at.
