How to use this tool
This website simply displays a list of the users you have blocked on Twitter. To view your list of blocked users, just click the Sign in with Twitter button and allow access for this application. You can then click on the Show my blocked users button to display a detailed list of your blocked users. You have the option to Unblock each user if you feel you have made a mistake or are in a forgiving mood. Each unblocked user will be listed at the top of the page, where you have an option to Follow if you feel the need.
I never want to see my blocked users again, what's the point?
It's a fair question. Twitter's block feature is there to avoid contact with spam-merchants and cyber-bullies, so your list of blocked users is likely to be a rogues gallery, which you don't want to waste much time reviewing.
However, particularly since the advent of #newtwitter, it is quite common to hear of Twitter users inadvertently blocking people. So if your friend asks you: have you blocked me?, this tool gives you a quick way of checking.
Can I see a list of who has blocked me?
No, Twitter does not make that information available. However Twitter is now much more direct about individual users who have blocked you and simply states "This user has blocked you from following them" if you click on their Follow button on twitter.com. Previously Twitter used to mask this information behind a protected tweets smokescreen.
Privacy policy: no funny business
While non-identifiable metrics are collected for statistical analysis, your individual blocking data are private and will not be published. Your Twitter authentication details are not stored in a database and are only available during this browser session. Rest assured therefore that this application will never:
- send any unauthorised updates from your Twitter account,
- send any direct messages (DMs) from your Twitter account or
- send you any irritating automated @reply or @mention tweets
