I used to have an add-on that blocks people with NFT PFPs, and it queued the blocks to be done at random so the system wouldn't be able to tell it was a robot doing it.

Twitter should queue the blocks internally and apply them at a rate they can handle.

Pretty crappy to limit people’s ability to curate.

Go one step further and support block groups, so if NFT’s become interesting you can enable them.
