This is a WebExtension I made for myself first, to solve my frustration caused by not being able to remember who is who on twitter. Every user has a unique mix of opinions, some of which I would rather not see on my tl - but simply muting someone is too permanent (twitter does not allow you to see what was the mute reason).

I personally think most services should have this. Otherwise, if you ever go through your block list, you're left wondering why you blocked who you did. The only other option is to use Notepad to keep track, but who really wants to do that?

I'd rather have a button that triggers an AI to go through my blocklist and check the last 100 posts/retweets of all accounts and give them an asshole score and report back to me for a change in scenery.

But to be honest, why would I even care to do that. Why should I care or give any troll a second thought. What could possibly be missing from my life that given a rando (or nation state actor) a second chance would fulfill? Nothing. There is nothing to be gained. IT is a pointless exercise and I have much better ways to waste my life, like scrolling for a funny tiktok. A single funny tiktok has a better chance at changing the trajectory of my life more than a muted idiot.
