Personally I tweet pro and con Web 3 stuff and every time I tweet something critical I lose on average a couple followers. The Web 3 devotees don't want to hear anything critical.
As an anecdote: I've never blocked someone in my 10 years on Twitter so I'm not sure how "normal" it is.
But in any case, blocking someone for harassment and spam is different than blocking a peer over their views on a topic like Web 3.
Shoutout to a fellow "never blocked anyone" person. If you don't want to say publicly, DM me so I can say hi :)

so as the consumers and speculators have a choice, its juvenile to even get into this spat.
Unincorporated community projects have often used code introduced by VC backed projects that have grown much bigger and had greater immediate impact than the VC subsidized codebase.
I’d also love to be a limited partner in Adreessen’s various funds.
When a new technology catches fire and is pushed so hard by a certain group of people your first obvious instinct should be "ah this technology must shift power into their group" if this was shifting power to a traditionally disenfranchised group that wouldn't be a bad thing and as I understand it for various less stable countries Web3 is helping with that -- not all power transfer is a bad thing -- but here in the US Web3 looks to be a power transfer from the classic finance institutions to VC groups which are not particularly disenfranchised.
I can't say if that's bad or not but I don't think it matters to the everyday person and that may be why Web3 is hard to grasp for a lot of people here in the US because it doesn't solve problems for the everyman and so it looks like business as usual from that angle.
@dang, is there a process for determining why something is flagged even if it’s just as simple as “users flagged it for unknown reasons”?
