Mr. Angus, respectfully, why are you doing this? You know there's no legal means to revoke Musk's citizenship, and that changing the law to do so would breach the Charter—because you and your party rightly voted against it a decade ago. Those signing the petition may not know better, but you do.

Even that may be giving him too much credit, imho.

They will never, ever log off

This long-deleted tweet from him sums up his thinking pretty well imo (source: freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/complexity...):

I looked at the replies to your original post and thought, hm, not seeing much stupid, not really seeing much at all. Then I realized: blocking works! Block enough stupid replies and eventually the signal to noise ratio noticeably improves!

Disqualified! Order has been restored to the universe as Jesse reclaims his rightful 👑
December 24, 2024 at 4:54 PM
I know sfa about coding, alas but I did get the sense from the responses to the initial post that he had set up some program to automate blocking of his own account?

@jessesingal.com Someone is going after your record! I suspect steroid use. Not validating this until I see the result of the doping tests.
December 23, 2024 at 2:25 PM
Am I the only one seeing this?

Every time I try to be more forgiving about blocking, I end up returning to the @mattyglesias.bsky.social approach. If I think someone's rude, or annoying, or going on and on about something I don't want to listen to: sorry! My attention and patience are limited. Nothing personal, it's just curation

Usual disclaimer: this is not legal advice, etc. But ffs, how much clearer could they be? POSTS ARE PUBLIC. bsky.social/about/suppor...

The debate over block evading is surpassingly ridiculous even by internet drama standards. On its own, block evading isn't harassment by any reasonable definition; at worst, it's impolite. Not to mention its opponents are selective in their opposition: screenshots are only bad when Bad People do it.

This reminds me of a 2016 Ontario criminal case, which made local headlines at the time. The Crown prosecuted a man for harassment for being a royal pain on 🐦, including by evading a block. The judge wasn't having it, noting that it's unreasonable to expect privacy in a public medium.

Apropos of nothing in particular: I've recently found myself thinking a lot about the conclusion to this 2021 Freddie deBoer essay. freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/that-one-s...

And the updated leaderboard makes it official. @jessesingal.com is the new champ! 🏆
December 10, 2024 at 12:25 AM
JESSE TAKES THE LEAD!!!🥇🔥🔥🔥✊✊🎉🎆🐐
December 9, 2024 at 8:46 PM
So close!
December 9, 2024 at 6:49 PM
I always found that tweeting brought out his most abrasive and intolerant side. It's true of a lot of people, alas. At least you and I are in august company on his blocklist!
December 9, 2024 at 2:07 PM
You're fewer than 2,500 blocks behind and you've done it in just your first weekend! Not to mention that Ms. Wu has the added advantage of infuriating the 🍉 contingent with her pro-Israel stance. I have faith in you, Jesse. Give it another day or two and I think you'll take the lead. 🥇
December 9, 2024 at 12:31 AM
Just over 30 hours since his first post, and Jesse has moved into second place!🥈Remember, this is good! Get the haters to remove themselves, so they have nothing more to complain about , and the rest of us don't have to hear from them. Everyone benefits!
December 7, 2024 at 10:23 PM
And it's now 24 hours since his first post, and Jesse has become the #3 most blocked account! Congratulations 🎉🥳
December 7, 2024 at 4:00 PM
One hour!
December 7, 2024 at 3:03 PM
Bwahahahaha!
