Review summary

Red Block is a helpful Firefox add-on for batch blocking or muting Twitter accounts, enabling users to manage spam and unwanted interactions efficiently. Users appreciate its flexible targeting and straightforward interface. However, it often hits limitations due to Twitter's API restrictions, such as blocking caps around 500 accounts per session and risk of forced logout or suspensions. Many report the add-on has stopped working following Twitter's domain changes and API updates, with the developer ceasing maintenance. Random errors and unreliability persist, diminishing its usefulness over time.

Pros

Effectively blocks or mutes groups of Twitter accounts, especially useful for handling spam or unwanted followers.
Allows batch blocking or muting of up to 500 accounts per session, aiding in bulk account management.
Provides targeting based on followers, followed accounts, or tweet reactions, offering flexible blocking options.
User interface is generally well-designed and accessible when connected.
Works as a successor to previous similar tools and helps with handling politically charged or spam-heavy Twitter notifications.

Cons

Stopped working due to Twitter's API restrictions and changes, including Twitter's rebranding to x.com causing failures.
Limited to blocking around 500 users per session; attempting to block more causes logout or account suspension risks.
Inconsistent reliability with blocking large accounts or full follower lists; may require multiple runs to block all desired accounts.
Errors and bugs occur randomly with certain users, causing failures or error messages during blocking attempts.
Development has been discontinued, so no updates to address issues like x.com support or API changes. Users experience the add-on becoming nonfunctional over time.

2024-05-19	Fi*****	5月17日をもってtwitter.comがx.comへ強制リダイレクトされる仕様になった影響により、同日より機能しなくなってしまっています。スパムをブロックする際に重宝していただけに残念です。開発停止してしまったとの事ですが、どうかx.comにも対応して下さる様に修正願えませんでしょうか。何卒よろしくお願い致します。 As of May 17, twitter.com has been forcibly redirected to x.com, and as a result, it has not been functional since that date. It is regrettable because it was useful for blocking spam. I understand that the development has been stopped, but could you please fix it so that x.com is also supported? 5월 17일부터 twitter.com이 x.com으로 강제 리디렉션되어 해당 날짜부터 작동하지 않습니다. 스팸 차단에 유용했던 기능이라 아쉽습니다. 개발이 중단된 것으로 알고 있는데, x.com도 지원될 수 있도록 수정해 주시겠습니까?

2023-08-09	Fi*****	Used to work very well, stopped working a few months ago. Thinking the extension might have been fixed now i re-installed it an was greeted by this message the moment i tried to use it. "트위터측의 API 제한으로 인해 부득이하게 레드블락의 개발을 중단하게 되었습니다. Unfortunately, I decided to stop maintaining RedBlock, because of Twitter's API restrictions." Extension no longer works for reactions of tweets (likes, reposts, quote reposts)
