Blocked by accts I’ve not spoken to on twitter! Can I check blocktools

How can I get a contemporary list of block tools to check? I think a fixated person is filing false reports of me, and a lot of progressive accounts have me blocked. i am getting an RSD shock while I try to boost abortion rights stuff and this is draining energy I should use to serve, so I’d like to know if this is what has happened even if I can’t fix it.

I don't know if this is helpful but it might be worth setting up either an alt account or a pal who could add/remove blocklists and see what happens to their ability to communicate with you. I know I've used BlockTogether in the past and have blocked about 40,000 accounts and occasionally it overblocks. I've had people reach out to me and unblocked them by hand. So you can see if I've blocked you (same username) and that might help narrow it down. Keep in mind that there are also tools like MegaBlock which will block the author of a tweet but also block the people who liked it, so if you like things for oppo research, you might have gotten caught up in this. You can also use tools like this one (requires Twitter auth, so authorize, use, then remove) to see how many people are blocking you. 62 people are blocking me, not bad in the grand scheme of things.
