However if the blockee is using one of the third party apps mentioned below then it involves precisely zero effort – it’s easy to see the tweets and reply to them, particularly if watching a conversation unfold via a hashtag. Generally this is wrongly believed to involve a bit of effort (in that they’d have to log out and search for your tweets, or log into a different account etc). I think most people now know that if you block someone they can still see your tweets. In those cases I think it’s worth replying to those tweets so that whenever anyone else clicks on them they might see the threaded replies with more correct info. Some of them are pretty harmless but a handful persist in tweeting misleading and occasionally dangerous health information. Over the years I’ve been blocked by lots of alternative medicine providers and supporters, particularly homeopaths and people flogging live blood analysis. This post serves two purposes – mainly to let more people know that if you’ve blocked someone they can still reply to your tweets ( and that other people can see and interact with those replies) and to highlight to skeptical or political activists that it’s still possible to correct misinformation tweeted by “the other side” (which of course works both ways!).

Tl dr– use these third party apps – Dabr (desktop) or Echofon or Janetter on iPhone. Also, remember that the person who’s blocked you won’t actually see your replies (unless they want to), but everyone else can. If you’re replying to someone who’s blocked you please try and be polite – your tweets are still subject to Twitter’s community rules and terms of service. You can see the tweets of people who’ve blocked you appearing in search results and you can reply by clicking directly on the reply icon (you can’t click on the tweet on Twitter though, though can on Tweetdeck). Unless you reply to another reply, in which case you can.Īdded 5 June 2017 – it seems that you no longer need to use third party apps when using Twitter / Tweetdeck on a desktop computer with a browser. You can send them new tweets but cannot use the loopholes below to reply to a tweet, so no more contributing to threads. This is a big improvement at first glance (although I can no longer correct nonsense spouted by homeopaths who’ve blocked me). More testing needed but it appears that you can no longer reply to an account that has blocked you.
