A tool for unblocking Twitter users and muting them instead. 🌱
This script will take accounts you have blocked, unblock them and mute them. Users that you unblock will be able to view your profile and message you, however while they are muted they will not appear in your feeds more details on muting & blocking.
This script is...
- NOT advisable for those who have used the block feature to protect their safety & privacy
- This script SHOULD be considered by politicians
- This script SHOULD be used by anyone ordered by a federal judge to unblock twitter users
- This script SHOULD be used by any representative violating First Amendment rights by preventing constituents from viewing and replying to tweets
- You get the idea, Representatives should do this.
This script will need to be rerun periodically if you continue to use the block feature. This script was written in June 2018.
python3 twitter_block2mute.py
Functional notes:
1. You will need a Twitter APP Key (apps.twitter.com) for the account you are executing these muting requests from.
2. This script has been built to observe rate limits and to use Twitter's API respectfully.
This script has been run for over X hours with no sign of interuption.
Testing extreme cases uses: After running this script for X hours an estimated X users will have been ![9.9]unblocked and muted.
3. This script can be interupted and when restarted it will work on unblocking & muting any remaining blocked users.
4. Do not use any of the code I have written with harmful intent.
5. By using this code you accept that every person has the right to choose their own gender identity.
