    I don’t feel like I ever want to revisit blocked lists. If I blocked an account, I’m done with them.

    I only have so much time and spending more time looking at blocked or muted accounts isn’t desirable.

      people change, and you make mistakes. forgive and forget when the evidence changes.

        I’m not invested enough to care about a given twitter account in that way.

    I personally think most services should have this. Otherwise, if you ever go through your block list, you're left wondering why you blocked who you did. The only other option is to use Notepad to keep track, but who really wants to do that?

      I'd rather have a button that triggers an AI to go through my blocklist and check the last 100 posts/retweets of all accounts and give them an asshole score and report back to me for a change in scenery.

      But to be honest, why would I even care to do that. Why should I care or give any troll a second thought. What could possibly be missing from my life that given a rando (or nation state actor) a second chance would fulfill? Nothing. There is nothing to be gained. IT is a pointless exercise and I have much better ways to waste my life, like scrolling for a funny tiktok. A single funny tiktok has a better chance at changing the trajectory of my life more than a muted idiot.

    I’ve got X - the entire service - muted and I’m reminded why almost daily
