The only thing that makes it notable is probably the reason. It's interesting that this topic is so polarizing. Especially where VCs are concerned.

Personally I tweet pro and con Web 3 stuff and every time I tweet something critical I lose on average a couple followers. The Web 3 devotees don't want to hear anything critical.

As an anecdote: I've never blocked someone in my 10 years on Twitter so I'm not sure how "normal" it is.

You've never blocked anybody at all? Or is this excluding obvious scammer accounts and old room mates who you've had a falling out with? I don't block people for their views, but I do block people who have no business knowing where/what I'm up to or dudes larping as hot 19 year old girls asking me to cash app them 40$ for gas money so they can come over

Nope, never. And I have open DMs too. It just hasn't been a problem for me.

But in any case, blocking someone for harassment and spam is different than blocking a peer over their views on a topic like Web 3.

What's your Twitter? (If you're still checking this thread.)

Shoutout to a fellow "never blocked anyone" person. If you don't want to say publicly, DM me so I can say hi :)
