Bird site, terfblocker mention, abuse of power 

It's been a few months and it's still mind boggling to me that people still use TerfBlocker or support them when they admitted to adding trans people they don't like to the block list.

And going so far as blackmailing trans people to remove their name from the block.

It's been several months and trans people are still finding themselves blocked by trans charities and other trans accounts that used that block list.

Several people that I know.

@KelethDragon This is sadly the biggest reason I don't trust blocklists or blockchains and similar. Way too easy to wield it as a weapon against a marginalized group than use it as a tool to help them.
