The Phenomenon of the Phantom Blocker; I use Twitter, even though I was recently permanently suspended for telling far right clown shoes Tomi Lahren that she should stick to giving opinions about things she's actually qualified to talk about, like hair care products.
I made a comeback and reclaimed all of my followers, and then some, Twitter is a peculiar beast in that Twitter is all, "Join Twitter! It's fun!", and then like, "Don't have too much fun on Twitter or we will limit your junk!"
Bipolarity of the platform aside, the users there can be quite confounding. For example, what I call the, "Phantom Block", this is when you become aware that a Twitter user with whom you have had zero interaction has got you on block, like, "What could I have possibly done to offend this freaking snowflake?" Apparently some people use what's called, "block chains", though admittedly I have no clue what those are, some sort of automation application, no doubt, which Twitter the platform doesn't like. I used Follow-Hound for list management purposes and Twitter did not like that, at all.
So these Phantom Blockers, what annoys me is that I didn't get the opportunity to properly offend these people and earn their damn block. At any rate, what is something you would preemptively block someone for, either on Twitter or here on Fat Secret, if blocking were an option? Poor usage of grammar might be on my list of qualifiers.
