Well, being blocked is arguably one of the most frustrating things in the world. And it’s even more frustrating if it happens on an engaging platform such as Twitter as well. Just like all other leading social networking sites, blocking on Twitter is a sneaky affair. That also makes it all the more difficult to know when it happens. So, in an attempt to help you out. Today, we’ll tell you the ways to check if someone has blocked you on the platform. In this article, we are going to talk about How to See Who Blocked You on Twitter. Let’s begin!
What does blocking do on Twitter?
Well, blocking works a little differently on Twitter than on other platforms. On Facebook, blocking will actually keep you from mentioning the person anywhere on the platform as well. Twitter, on the other hand, will basically let you tweet to them but won’t tell the person that there are tweets pending for them as well. You, of course, wouldn’t have the option of seeing their Tweets as well. However, you’d be able to participate in conversations where both of you are mentioned actually. Again, neither of you would be able to see each other’s replies also.
Their tweets won’t really be visible under a particular hashtag — even if they are using it extensively. They won’t really see retweets of your tweets. And finally, you guys won’t get to send each other direct messages via Twitter. In order to summarize, Twitter would simply be erasing your existence from their life. That makes sure they never come across any of your activities on Twitter.
Will you be notified when someone blocks you on Twitter?
As already discussed, blocking on Twitter is a super-duper sneaky operation, where discretion is of the utmost importance. So, whenever a user wants to take a little break from your Twitter shenanigans via blocking you, Twitter won’t make a peep — notify you actually. Unless you thoroughly investigate, and there won’t be a way for you to know when a user blocks you on the platform as well.
How to See Who Blocked You on Twitter
If you guys think you’re seeing unusually less from an account lately or also they aren’t responding to your tweets. And you could make the bold choice of visiting their profile and seeing if they have actually blocked you. If they have, you’d see a message saying that this user has blocked you on Twitter.
See how many users have blocked you on Twitter?
Twitter, as we’ve mentioned, is a really subtle app. Neither will it let you know when a user has blocked you nor will it tell you that how many users have chosen to remove you from their feed as well. Capitalizing on the situation, a service, that is called Blolook has come to the fore and will also tell you exactly how many users have blocked you on the platform as well.
To know the statistic, just simply go to the website and then log in with your Twitter account.
After authorizing, the website will actually tell you how many users have blocked you on the next screen.
Is there a way to get a list of folks who have blocked you?
Discreet as the platform is, Twitter is yet to provide us a tool that would give us a handy list of folks that have blocked us. A lot of websites claim to get the job done, of course, however, most of them are scams and charge you a premium. But, if you’re willing enough, then there is a workaround that’d tell you if a mutual contact has blocked you on Twitter.
How to find if a contact has blocked you
Folks who would block you on Twitter aren’t likely to be random. They are bound to have mutual accounts along with you. So, first, you’ll have to find a user who might be following the suspected blocker. Head to their Twitter profile and tap on “Following” in order to get the list of people that they are following.
- Relying on the number of the people they are following. It could take a while for you in order to reach the bottom of the screen.
- When you do that, then right-click on the page in order to save it as a “complete webpage”.
- Now, just open the HTML file in Notepad, and search for the keyword: “blocks-you”. If you guys get a hit, then look for the Twitter username a couple of lines above the found text — “blocks-you”.
- The username you get there is blocking you on Twitter as well. You’ll have to repeat this step for all the suspected accounts actually.
