…words fail me.
Twitter is the worst-run tech company on the planet and I am enthusiastically waiting for it to die. It makes anti-harassment noises (Trust And Safety Council… what a farce vaguely redeemed by the amusingly Orwellian name) but won’t give actual users the tools to deal with it themselves. Proper filtering! Automated blocking! Nice transparent and configurable. Hell make it programmable and then people will write scripts that implement whatever behavior is necessary.
[[Full disclosure: I have the egg avatar or, rather—now—the genderless, neckless, faceless, hairless, shapeless Avatar of the Future. I’ve never harassed anyone on Twitter and have, in fact, never tweeted @ anyone I didn’t know in real life, I don’t think. ]]
