Block retweeters of a post

block retweeters.js

// Twitter (or what’s left of it — X) someimes gives headaches.
// I used the script of Isaac King at https://outsidetheasylum.blog/twitter-blocker/ at the beginning.
// But the HTTP 428 is a headache. At first I added some random latency one each and every 10th action.
// Then I blocked the queries to the bottlenecks like avatar loading API.
// Now, it is harder to get blocked by Twitter's rate limiting.

// Usage
// Pick the tweet you want to block th RTers.
// On the menu at the righthand side, click "View post engagements"
// Navigate to "Reposts" tab
// Open developer tools in Chrome
// Navigate to Network tab and uncheck "Disable cache"
// Navigate to Console tab
// Paste the line below into Console and hit enter
