    Someone seeing your public posts isn’t you interacting with them. You are posting something for everyone to see. If you don’t want someone seeing it, don’t make a public post.

      There are rings of people and little pocket communities on Twitter and I think it’s good to be able to keep unwanted people out of that if someone wants to.

      If I block someone I don’t want them stalking through my account. I think it’s fine to let people decide who can and cannot see their content

      You are posting something for everyone to see.

      sounds like they’re actually posting something for everyone but the people they don’t like to see, which sounds reasonable?

        That’s not really how public posts work. If it can be seen by any arbitrary person you don’t know and have never interacted with, it can been seen by anyone. To think otherwise is to misunderstand the nature of your post which can be dangerous.
