How to Tell If Someone Blocked You on Twitter
There are generally two types of blocking on Twitter, a hard block and a soft block. The difference between the two is that when someone soft blocks you, they’ll unblock you again. Doing this removes you from theirFollowersandFollowinglists. Soft-blocking is more difficult to notice, and it can easily be brushed off as an error.
Hard block or soft block, we’ll show you what you have to do to know if someone means to exclude you from their Twitter life.

While you won’t get a notification or anything of the sort, a hard block is very obvious.
How Do You Detect a Soft Block on Twitter?
Soft blocks are sneakier than hard blocks. If you notice that you no longer follow someone without deliberately unfollowing them, but their profile doesn’t say “blocked”, then they may have soft blocked you. Soft blocking involves blocking and then unblocking a follower so that they’re removed from your follower list.
If you follow them again and you notice that it keeps repeating itself, then they probably don’t want you in their Twitter life.
Soft blocking is an effective way to stop someone from getting insulted or aggravated. It’s more effective for people who you might know in real life who you’re trying not to offend.
