Being bombarded with crypto spam and Twitter bizarre block doesn’t appear to work appropriately
For some purpose the crypto fanatics have been posting loads of spam on my Twitter account. Undecided what I did to deserve their consideration as I’ve largely simply been posting a collection of weblog posts the place I’m testing out some new cloud safety code and concepts round cybersecurity metrics automation.
After I posted the hyperlink to my GitHub repo, I obtained hit with some type of reply I couldn’t see however elevated the message rely on my put up. I’m undecided if that preliminary message was a crypto individual or simply some phrase I had muted however I couldn’t see the reply. So I simply ended up deleting and recreating my put up.
Then I obtained hit with a crypto spammer replying to the put up. In that case it seems a phrase I muted hid the message however I may nonetheless click on to see it. I reported and blocked the spammer however the message rely on the tweet nonetheless confirmed one. I wasn’t positive if the reply was utterly eliminated so I deleted my put up and re-added it.
I’ve seen this downside earlier than so I lastly tweeted out to Twitter Help about this however I do know this doesn’t do any good. One wonders why they even have this help deal with.
I would love to see this bug fastened. Additionally — why can individuals I’ve muted reply in any respect and why can individuals reply in any respect with phrases I’ve muted? It looks as if Twitter ought to block that altogether. Let the individuals put up to their hearts content material however then make them the one one which sees their reply if I’ve muted them or a world the posted.
But in addition, even when I muted them if I wish to see what’s occurring there needs to be the equal of a spam folder the place I can go test the replies if I would like in case there’s an error on my half in how I configured one thing and I wish to change it.
I’m positive this put up will go off into never-never land and none of this can get fastened however add it to the record.
