Coming to terms with Tailwind

For a while, I blocked the Tailwind keyword on Twitter. I was a bit mad that @tailwindcss and author Adam blocked me on Twitter after I wrote a bit of criticism that got popular.

I was also tired of getting dragged in every Tailwind related conversation on the Svelte Discord. Apparently people thought it would be fun to mention me every time Tailwind came up. I guess I brought upon myself with these blog posts:

(All I was trying to do was making people reconsider their CSS strategy instead of blindly going for the new popular framework.)

Now, getting blocked by a person, that’s one thing. I guess Adam’s coping strategy with criticism was an “I don’t want to hear it.”

Needless to say, you then create your own bubble of truth. I understand you want your social media experience to be pleasurable. I’ve been getting into some stupid Twiitter fights recently and they can get you annoyed.

The weird thing is we never even had an interaction or anything on Twitter. Then there comes the point where I have to use Tailwind for work and I am blocked by an offical account and – that feels kind of stupid? Getting blocked by a company entity for having an opinion is kind of… strange?
