Redacted Twitter mention blocklist policy

Twitter Mention Blocklist Policy

Public-safe version. Redacted. No handles, no links, no callouts.

Block immediately

  • Strongly derogatory replies
  • Crypto spam, token shills, wallet/contract junk
  • Clear AI slop or reply-bot behavior
  • Repetitive low-context spam

Hard triggers

  • raw token strings ending in pump
  • long crypto-style hashes or contract strings, especially 0x...
  • crypto-coded identity markers like BNB, XBT, 0x, Crypto, degen
  • low-signal logo or mascot bait from crypto-coded accounts
  • community-link pings with no real text
  • image-only or link-only drive-bys
  • direct hostility with no substance
  • repeated emotional blackmail or money-begging

AI / slop signals

One weak signal alone is not enough. Repeated pattern matters.

  • generic abstraction soup about agents, workflows, reasoning, interoperability
  • fake sage tone with no specifics
  • templated agreement or praise across unrelated threads
  • same upbeat, shallow reply shape repeated many times in a short window
  • canned phrases like:
    • the real unlock
    • the bigger concern is
    • the part nobody mentions is
    • fantastic pattern
    • proper agent infra
    • can provide invaluable insight

Borderline review process

If one tweet is not enough:

  • read roughly 8-15 recent profile replies
  • inspect follower/following shape
  • inspect profile bio
  • inspect language fit

Block weight goes up fast when:

  • the account is tiny or disposable-looking
  • bio pushes coins, tickers, memecoins, or crypto identity
  • replies contain cashtags, token names, wallet strings, or contract spam
  • the account keeps posting generic praise, fake insight, or thread-detached filler

Prefer mute over block when:

  • the account seems human
  • the account is tiny
  • the content is mostly non-English/non-German
  • the replies are specific and technical, not hostile, crypto, or AI-slop

Practical defaults

  • If crypto: block.
  • If strongly derogatory: block.
  • If community-link ping plus crypto chatter in profile replies: block.
  • If crypto-coded handle plus silly logo/mascot question: block.
  • If image-only or link-only spam: block.
  • If repeated emotional blackmail: block.
  • If AI-ish: block only when clearly synthetic or repeated.
  • If tiny account plus empty hostility: block.
  • If tiny account plus human technical chatter in another language: mute.

Redacted examples

  • Example A: account drops a ...pump token string in a mention. Block.
  • Example B: account asks a silly logo question; profile replies are memecoin chatter. Block.
  • Example C: account posts only a community link; profile replies include cashtags and a wallet string. Block.
  • Example D: account posts generic AI praise across unrelated threads every minute. Block.
  • Example E: account uses direct abuse like fucking drone. Block.
  • Example F: tiny account writes a real technical question in another language with specific config details. Mute, not block.

If you wanna setup your own twitter mention shill/AI reply boy/derogatory terms block, this is the ruleset for claw, make it a cron, setup xurl and clawbird.

How will you know when that foreign Prince tries to give you his bitcoin he has, though?
