Yup. Dude's mentality relies upon the majority of people acting irrationally and spending 40 hours a week actively looking for things to block.
There's already newcomers realizing how pointless the entire exercise is.

i never used twitter that much, it was never for discussion but about who has the hottest take receiving the most retweets using dark patterns and algorithms. i didn't like that really much, it's runaway ultracapitalism transferred to communication.
my 2 cents on blocklists:
i think that if the blocklist shills were fundamentally right in their opinions, they wouldn't need all that stuff. if on the other hand they are so fragile that they need this imaginary power, it says something about their cause and opinions. if things don't hold water, you don't want them discussed but accepted as truth. thoses lists are essentially the same as banning wrongthought, which is usually what dictators do. that it isn't a single person but a group deciding upon these lists is irrelevant. dictators aren't dangerous as a person but because of the group think induced by these systems first to positive reinforcement, then cemented by negative reinforcement like blocklists. it's just complete bullshit to say "free speech is bad" and "nazis are bad" at the same time.
