Twitter blocklists?

I know there's a 'T*RF blocklist' - I subscribed to it years ago when I still thought 'trans rights' meant 'being treated fairly and not discriminated against due to one's transgender identity' and not 'rewriting reality', and can't undo it now. Is there a blocklist that GC feminists are using, does anyone know? I'm now blocked by several GC accounts despite no interaction and/or being previously able to see them.

(Not the end of the world but I'm curious!)

I have a twitter account but never tweet or re-tweet. I'm on several blacklists, presumably soley on the basis of "likes", the most recent being David Paisley's.

I vaguely recall that I was blocked from a gender critical feminist's account but I can't remember whose.

@SebastianTheCrab yes, that's what I thought!

@StillAHarpie you're probably right. I started using blocklists on another issue to minimise random harassment, but no longer trust the people who create such things.

I've never heard of GC feminists using or wanting a blocklist. Most of us are reasonable who have no problem hearing other people's views as long as they're not rude or abusive.

Maybe start a new Twitter account.

I used to block anyone I found that I hadn’t interacted with and had blocked me as I assumed they had useda blocklist so that might be what has happened.
