Take back control of your Twitter experience with block lists. Block accounts that have retweeted or liked a problematic Tweet. Or, if you have a curated list of accounts to block, copy paste the list and block in bulk.

Hi Product Hunt! I’m Tracy, the founder and CEO of Block Party. Since launching on Product Hunt in January 2021, we’ve been hard at work building even more tools to help you take control of your Twitter experience. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to block lists, our take on bulk blocking: https://blog.blockpartyapp.com/i... With block lists, you can: * Block accounts that have retweeted or liked a problematic Tweet, 100 at a time * Paste a list of up to 100 accounts you want to block in bulk * Make as many block lists as you need! By limiting each block list to 100 accounts, we hope to make it easier for you to review accounts before blocking, so you don’t inadvertently silence accounts you’d otherwise like to support. You can read more about our design process here: https://blog.blockpartyapp.com/b... Our time online plays a critical part in our everyday lives, and you deserve to have control over what content you see. We hope using block lists makes it a little bit easier to have a safe, positive experience on Twitter. Let us know what you think — we can’t wait to hear your feedback. -Tracy and the Block Party team

Thank you for making the internet more user-friendly and making sure everyone can participate. I've been hoping for something like this for a while and am so excited it's actually real!

If you're so sensitive that you have to download a curated 'block list' of people who made the *egregious* error of LIKING a tweet that doesn't totally align with your personal views and opinions, you probably shouldn't be using the internet. This also isn't going to make the internet any more "safe" or pleasant, either...it's just going to increase the hyper-partisan divisions present in every level of society, currently, and cause the people people who'd use such a thing like this to get radicalized. Besides, who defines what is considered a "problematic" tweet? IS there transparency to your decision-making process?

@mrdntlxla You're making a lot of incorrect assumptions here based on no data or experience. Have you ever considered listening and trying to understand the experience of others? Have you ever considered that the experience *you* have on the internet is different than the experience that *others* have on the internet? I've been using Block Party for months and it's made my Twitter experience *so* much better. Can't recommend it highly enough.

@mrdntlxla This is why this product is so important! Thank you so much for the demonstration!! I mean, why simply ignore things we don’t agree with (and waste a lot of our precious personal time) when we can go out of our way to post argumentative comments on or about them? I like your style, Michael! Maybe the internet will become safer if we just argue with everyone that uses it! You’ve done a wonderful job of illustrating the purpose of Block Party and its features and, for that, I thank you. Have a good one, Michael.
