- Summary: The Chrome Web Store offers an extension called "Block The Blue - Twitter Verified Blocker" which automatically blocks users verified by Twitter Blue. The extension ignores organizational verifications and will block any blue verified users, inspired by the campaign. The extension directly interacts with Twitter's DOM and briefly shows pop-ups of the blocking interface. It has a maximum limit of blocking 125,000 accounts.

Ah. Que ahora la gente en 𝕏Twitter puede tener el :verified: oculto. Que guay.

Si ya estaba practicando masivamente el cuando eran fáciles de detectar (y con una extensión de Firefox), ahora ya voy a entrar en modo paranoico y bloquear a quien simplemente parezca sospechoso.

Tuit extendido: block.
Tuit con negritas: block.
Y así todo el rato.

Para quien tenga la duda, ahora mismo en twitter soy lector pasivo con CERO interacción.

What's probably even funnier, is the reason he's most likely decided to scrap the block option.

Not only did trend for days on Twitter after the $8 subscription service went live, with people blocking any account with a checkmark.
But one of the most blocked users on Twitter, is the Apartheid beneficiary himself.

Teniendo eso en cuenta, estoy bloqueando todo perfil con verificador azul y todo tuit patrocinado que me encuentro en la red del pájaro. Ya sabéis, y todo eso, para no dar, con mis visualizaciones, visitas y dinero.

That moment when you realize that is real and you have to do something about it because the wave has grown into a tsunami.

@esvrld Because plenty of those calling for are already presupposed to oppose sex work on moral or "exploitation" grounds; and because not having Twitter Blue does block a user from some features that are useful for outreach.

Although, given how much Musk has tainted the app with his own Nazi/Alt-Right brand and fetish, it's increasingly not worth either the cost nor the association.

I believe someone has set that up. I found the following extension for chrome, though I haven't tried it since I don't use chrome.

> looks like we are going to have to renew , rightwingers are going to use outrage and baiting us to make money. whenever this ad payment gets implemented you have to block bluecheck onsight and do not engage with the bluecheck. if you must dunk, screenshot the post

Not something I need fuss with, because I'm not planning on posting there again.

Some important caveats about the movement on Twitter, and some of the marginalised groups who are using paid accounts there, though not necessarily displaying the blue badge, and why:
