Likers Blocker

A browser extension to block all visible likers (and optionally all retweeters) of a tweet on Twitter.

Inspired by Mario Sixtus (@sixtus):

In Übrigen wünsche ich mir für solche Fälle ein Twitter-Add-On, das alle Liker eines bestimmten Tweets blockt, weil es nur Arschlöcher sein können. Wer programmiert es? – 10:41 am · 22 Feb. 2020

In collaboration with @pkreissel, who wrote the back-end for this tool: https://github.com/pkreissel/ichbinhier_twittertools.

Installation

Install for Mozilla Firefox

Install for Google Chrome

Install for Opera

Install for Microsoft Edge (You can install Chrome extensions in Edge, it's basically the same browser)

Usage

Block likers of a tweet

• Once you click on a tweet, there is a link which indicates how many people liked this tweet.

• Click on that link to get the list of all likers

  

• Then click on the new button on the top which says "Block all" / "Alle Blockieren".

• You can also chose to block all retweeters of the tweet (only direct retweeters without comment).

• If you use it for the first time, you will have to authorize the app to access your twitter account.

• You get a list of all users that are about to be blocked.

• Confirm and wait for the sucess message.

• ✔ DONE. All the collected likers of the tweet are blocked. 😇

Constraints:

• For big lists of likers (hundrets and more), not all likers are blocked, we can only collect those who are visible in the list from twitter.

Block all members of a list

• Click on a list of twitter users
• Click on the number of members
• Proceed with point three above ("Block all")

Share your block list with others

Since Twitter has disabled its ability to import/export block lists, LikersBlocker brings back the feature.

Export

• Go to "Settings and privacy" > "Content preferences" > "Blocked accounts" (Or just go to https://twitter.com/settings/blocked/all)
• Click on the share button above the list of blocked accounts
• Wait a moment until all acocunts from your list are collected (make sure to leave the tab in the foreground to avoid stoping the automatic down scrolling)
• Copy and share the block links with other persons to share your block list with them.

Import

• When you receive a block link, just click on it or enter it into the address bar of your browser.
• If you use it for the first time, you will have to authorize the app to access your twitter account.
• You get a list of all users that are about to be blocked.
• Confirm and wait for the sucess message.
• ✔ DONE. All the collected likers of the tweet are blocked. 😇
