I'd like a full list with notes, now that I think about it. Not just blocks and mutes, but any profile I added a note to. That's be a handy at-a-glance guide.

It’s very rare, but I suppose it’s better than the “lol, cat fell asleep on the keyboard!” type nonsense.

"I wish I could see the list of notes next to my blocklist" - oh yes please. I would love this feature. The notes are fairly buried in the current set-up. I would love an at-a-glance list of name + note on block lists.

It achieves the opposite of what they're striving for. 5, or maybe 6 hashtags, and I start to twitch.

The assumption that you didn't know enough to know that you wanted to farm engagement. And the assumption that you didn't know how hashtags work.

WRONG! They were both Welsh speakers, but the one I hadn’t seen before had assumed *I* wasn’t, so was speaking English to her colleague for *my* benefit.

We have a long way to go.

I once got a DM in response to a picture of a sunset saying I'd get more engagement if I used hashtags, and while it was well intentioned (if a bit mansplainer) under the assumption that my purpose here was to maximize engagement and publicize myself I guess, I'm really just here to drop random posts and pictures that made me happy into the conversation and if they make someone else happy that's the only metric of success I'm interested in realky

The person disappears instantly from the universe, I find. Unless it was something especially egregious, I won't remember later that they existed. I assume it's the same for those who block me. Sometimes I meet someone who's blocked me when I can't see their one post in a thread of mutuals. I always feel happy for them.They got the peace they wanted!

I am always vaguely worried that I am both a reply guy and a mansplainer 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I have hundreds of notes written about me, who knows.
