Twitter, like many places on the internet, is full of trolls. And also lots of people worse than trolls.
Those people are why Tracy Chou founded Block Party. The tech startup offers what it describes as “middleware”–aka third-party augments that operate on top of existing social media platforms and let users control their experiences.
In Twitter’s case, Block Party lets you do things like blacklist individual tweets so that your account automatically blocks anyone who likes or retweets that post. That’s a feature any Block Party user gets for free; it also offers paid functions like keyword filters, where users can block accounts that tweet specific words or have specific words in their usernames.
Chou launched Block Party in January 2021, and now her company has raised its first 4.8 million in seed funding, TechCrunch reports.
The round was led by Stellation Capital with participation from venture-capital firms Impellent Ventures,...

Exclusive: Just in time for the start of a new school year, Greenwich Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights to Try Harder!, a documentary set within San Francisco’s most competitive public high school.
The film directed by Debbie Lum (Seeking Asian Female), follows five seniors at Lowell High “as they try to get into the elite college of their dreams,” as Lum explained in a video for the Sundance Film Festival, where Try Harder! premiered in January.
It’s tough to earn admission to Lowell—“Only the city’s best and brightest qualify to get in,” observes producer Lou Nakasako—and once inside the doors students face enormous pressure to succeed.
“Getting into college has never been harder than it is today. High school has really changed,” Lum notes. “So many students are under much more stress. We really wanted to capture the students’ story.”
